Think this is not to difficult because it looks similar to He 162

And the cockpit is actually identical to the Lerche's!

Oleg's team used this plane's cockpit for reference. 'God knows' why they didn't go ahead and make this one. 8)

Really? Did they use this pit as reference?

Yes. Check the manual. Luthier's team got a copy of the photographs from either the HS-132 prototype or mockup - not sure which (I think both were captured on the eastern front).

I remember reading that this was assembled post-war in Russia, same with the new Junkers bombers.

History:
The Hs 132 design was submitted in April 1944 and a contract for six aircraft was approved in May 1944. Construction only started in March 1945, this was caused by problems with the computerized bomb sight needed because of the high speeds which would be reached in it,s dive. By the war's end the Hs 132 V1 was near to completion and it's first flight was scheduled for June 1945. The aircraft was captured by the Soviet Forces and later tested under Soviet supervision. An interesting design as pilot was to lie prone behind a glass nose canopy, this posture allowed the pilot to better resist the g-forces encountered when pulling out of a dive. This also allowed the advantage of a reduced frontal area, therefore reducing drag as well as a smaller target for defending gunners.
