Steve, yes the static line is coming from the parachute and you can tell he is the second man through the door as the is already a static line snaking out through the door. I think what Mario was having trouble with was the cable the static line is attached to. This is simply a taut cable stretching the length of the fuselage fastened securely fore and aft. It allows the static line to pull the canopy from its bag fully, when at full length there is a simple cord linkage between the canopy apex and the end of the static line that snaps, leaving the Paratrooper aline mid air with the canopy deploying.
All it would require would be a short cable glued to the end of he static line at right angles to it. It is a vitally important detail, without it there is no possible way for the canopy to deploy and the poor soul would just pile into the ground a few seconds after leaving the aircraft.

Steve, Mario, well we got that sorted out.
Mario, no way am I jumping again, unless I get paid for it I hated going out the door every time, but for an extra £5.62 a day extra I put up with it. That was a lot of money in the 1980's, mind you I probably spent that and more on beer every day!

Got the C-47's fuselage complete, after a gloss coat, Tamiya black liner was used around the door and internal structures, then using the oil dot technique, subtle shades were added to the external skin, then a coat of matt varnish and finally dust and dark mud pigments were added;
Now the simple job is over, its on to the jumper;

I really like the fuselage as you've done it, really does look like the well used work horse the C47 was, love he flakey paint and overall weathering.
