Exactly. Even 3D modeling isn't finished yet. The new external model is still under development, the fuselage turrets and navigator cockpits are in a very early stage of modeling. Pilot's and engine gondola turrets cockpits are finished in 3D (as you can see on the pictures), but not exported to the game yet.
There are still quite a lot of modeling and programming work left to do, plus development of an accurate FM (which is mostly trial and error and not so fast process).
So, ATM, it is quite far from being finished. Besides, it never was planned for 4.10.
Apart from Pe-8 there are also IL-4 and SB cockpits being developed by another enthusiast Russian modelers. IL-4 cockpit models are also in a quite advanced state ATM, currently their author builds navigator cockpit, while pilot and ventral turret are finished already. SB is in less advanced state, but hopefully will also be finished in time for the next after 4.10 add-on.
