Almost 3 years ago I did a build of an aircraft I saw in a museum, now with newer parts (yay glass) new skills and new photos I've made it much more accurate and beautiful.
Featuring:
-A canopy built from a picture rather than a guess
-Working instruments (including one stolen from here
-Moving surfaces and controls
-Nice glass
-far more accurate and smooth shape
-Modest part count
Controls:
AG:1 canopy open
AG:2 Parachute
Some if its somewhat confusing backstory can be found at:

Still working on that train though...
