Good.

It is more productive to model in low poly from the start. With approach, you selected, you do double work.

That won't do any good. I mean, you hardly will be glad by the result.

You have to fit into less, then 10K
triangles with each large cockpit (pilots, nav, fuselage gunners) and into less then 5K with each small cockpit (single man turrets/cockpits).
Total size of textures for each cockpit should not be larger, then 8MB. Largest texture allowed is 512x512 pixels.
That's a basic requirements.

As much, as I know, he tried to collect donations, but I am not sure, he does as well with this, as he progresses with his models. So, I guess, he's making them from more of an interest to the subject and modeling, then for the money.
Anyway, we at DT still believe, it is more productive for you to try to cooperate with him for a start. At least you could just take some of the cockpits for you and others - for him and model different cockpits in parallel, instead of doing same stuff double.
