Remake is more painful than building from scratch (Teaser)

Yes, it's still me, and my Ju-288G-2

In the past week, I made some pretty dramatic changes.
First, cockpit.


I accidentally found the REAL Ju 288 cockpit layout, so I had to spend the whole week to rebuild the whole thing.
The co-pilot seat was also remade, but there isn't much to show at the moment.


Next, the control surfaces, the engine nacelles and especially the dive brakes have been added/modified
The Ju 288 actually use a rather unique dive brake system. It still looks a bit off at the moment, but I'll adjust them later.

And after the "wing break" demonstrator, I tried to add landing gear malfunction as well.

(Note this was captured with the old cockpit design.)
The landing gear will be stuck if you fly faster than 380 km/h with gear down for too long. it has yaw factor in its input so the two landing gears will malfunction independently/ asymmetrically.

Last but not least, the gun.

The 280mm Duesenkanone Duka 280 was remade, but retained the cartridge ejection.

This is the first "serious" teaser of the reborn aircraft, so I'll start taking T/upvotes as tagging requests.
