Too bad.
Instead of seeing a re-iteration of the existing kit, I would like to obtain the version with the glass cockpit which might not really a big effort for Miniart to provide it.

I agree. We already have this basic helicopter on the catalogue from MiniArt so something visually different and not merely alternate decals are in order; the new variant also has more potential sales appeal. Maybe releasing an FD-61 with a Hanna Reitsch figurine would be interesting rather than every variant of the Kolibri.

This is not a mere decal change, it is a slightly different version V-6 and V-16:







Seems that the actuators on the tail rudder are different, so as the front "poles", and probably other small details I am missing.

Seems like no two were the same. Each one was tweeked a bit after discoveries learned from the previous one.
