>>>I think I see pilots in your B-17. Am I to understand that you just float them inside the plane and they are visible by virtue of the transparent material you applied to the window area, or did you "carve out" (Boolean or shell) your cockpit area?


The planes fuselage is completely hollow. It's just a surface so there's no need to boolean anything. I projected the window curves onto the surface and used them to trim the surface. Don't Remove the windows when trimming.

I did some googling and found a photo of the rocket you're modeling. Using the Project Curve to Surface should work for your window.
