Those seats are a complete model by themselves!
Every part of this build qualifies as a complete model by itself. This is astonishing work.
This is "frightening" realistic...
Holy Crap... That 4th pic, I thought you went to a NASA site and grabbed a pick of the inside of an Apollo CM!
O boy this is realy a piece of art, when is the take off planned.
I agree completely with Rhaven, mijob, Micah and Ponytail2.
There is so much detail on this model, it's overwhelming.
(we really need to talk about the overuse of the shrinkray)

The seats are in place. All electronics connected.
Still, all these years later, it's hard to imagine 3 men at a time riding in these to go to the men and back... Amazing work,

Proceeded to the outer skin. I decided to cut it with a laser, in order to make it easier to remove unnecessary sections of tape for further installation of parts. Strips of adhesive tape are also cut on a plotter from wallpaper that was sold at a hardware store.

Now I use local service. In the future I plan to buy a laser cuter, maximum for 40x60 cm working area.
I worked with aluminium foil before. You have to be very careful or you'll end up with wrinkles or scratches. Great work so far! 
This is not aluminum foil, this wallpaper is a very thin plastic sheet with an aluminum coating and an adhesive layer, it is easier to work with and it does not scratch or shrink as foil.I worked with aluminium foil before.
