I have a question Oleg.

Will we be able to open the vent and sliding windows on the 109s?

It is done in all models. Was in plan to make openable, but can't say will or not for all working. At least it is possible.
Canopy itself - openable for all.

Oleg just one thing, the rest of the cockpit, with exception of the panel, wasn´t RLM-02 in E series cockpits?

I asked the very same question for an project of my own an expert ( Peter W. Cohausz )a few days ago:
Like you wrote , the cabine in 02 and the instrumentspanel in 66.

But we here have a own expert = csThor

Aren't there numerous shades of RLM-02 from green to grey?

No. In the pics of SOW, all cockpit is in RLM-66, a different color of RLM-02. As you can see, the first is 66 and the second is 02 (just samples, not the 100% accurate color)
Perhaps Oleg could explain this point because the rest of the 109 is amazing

I am wondering about the reflections in the instruments. Would you be able to switch them off?

To have those reflections, you would need to have your eyepoint on the seat. That's not where most pilots keep their eyes

It is quite impossible to have the reflections as currently portrayed as the instruments have flat, not convex, glass.

I have sat in both RAF types (Hurricane and Spitfire) in the last couple of years (on the ground, of course) and in neither could I see myself. You have a reflection of the inside of the cockpit-which is dark. So you don't see a reflection at all. It strikes me that this feature, lovely though it looks, departs from reality.
