They did a good job with the jumpseats in the waist, which are of course
historically inaccurate, but the FAA began screwing with the old bird
operators a few years ago and required them. When Evergreen was touring its
B-17, which is now on static display behind the Spruce Goose and an SR-71,
they installed seats out of a TriMotor which looked completely absurd.
