What Cockpit? MK VI
On the other hand, looking at the ASI and engine instruments, the BD5J looks more plausible.

It is a straightforward BD-5 with the Honda piston engine:
This one in fact
This Canadian example was being offered for sale as the owner was unable to fly it, as you can see although not quite complete it appears to beautifully finished and detailed.
Over to you F2

Not the piloted V1 (as flown by Hanna Reitch). Now there was a remarkable lady, still gliding in the Alps in the late '70s, and a fund of after dinner stories. But not that (and not any German type).

Fitter 2's challenge
Last time this one came up it was the Yokosuka MXY7-Ohka, the Japanese version of the Fi103. Which BEagle gave the right answer when it first came up.

Mm. The Ohka doesn't appear on the list posted on page 1. There are substantial differences in airframe between the Okha (rocket or primitive jet power rather than pulsejet). The Okha was designed as a Kamikaze piloted bomb, the Fi 103 to sort out development problems on a very early unmanned cruise missile, although proposed to use in a similar role..
Fi103
Okha
You are correct on the type, however, so over to you.

Thank you Fitter2 I think you will find it is on the list on Page 1, it is about six up from the bottom. However that is not a problem. This next one is a nice easy one.

Sorry about that kitbag, I just thought this one would be no problem.
Agaricus bisporus has it.
It is indeed the Piasecki HUP Retriever
You have control Agaricus bisporus.
