Yeh, I learned the technique from Jeff Christner, "the Father of Six Wide
Fire Trucks". They just sit there on a flat surface. The only way you can
use seats and have it be 6W is if you do what TLG did on the Landspeeder,
but as has been pointed out, the arms are not inside that thin wall. My
guess
is that the Flash Speeder is done this way also.

who decides that he wants to wreck his car and flip a fire truck the figs
stay pretty much in the same spot because they are so close together
and the cab roof is directly above their heads. But where the Falcon has
an enclosed cockpit, this really shouldn't be a problem.
