I thought I would change the layout for this diorama because it is the first that needs a bit of explanation.
Indeed, though the idea was not originally that one, I ended up hooking it up to that rather well known Randall Jarell poem

It reads like that

"From my mother's sleep I fell into the State,
And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze.
Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life,
I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters.
When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose."

So this is indeed a 1/35 scratchbuilt B-17 Ball Turret that you can see here -see the WIP here
