Jiro's Birdplane (from The Wind Rises)

My interpretation of Jiro's Birdplane from studio Ghibli's film "The Wind Rises": if it were real, how would it look?
Inspired by early 20th century monoplanes, I had a hard time trying to make sense of some of the elements of the original design, like the tiny two-cylinder engine, the weird lateral intake, and perhaps above all, the wings.
I could write long about the problems of translating the original movie design into a working aircraft (from a realistic aircraft design perspective) and why I did what I did, but long story short, the main offender as you see is the lack of ailerons/flaps in the original. In the end I opted for a...inboard aileron? I thought it was the less disruptive option to the overall shape. The other alternative I considered is a Wing Warping system for roll control, like in early Bleriot or Taube monoplane designs (this was already rather rare if not obsolete at this period though, I believe), and while I personally don't mind the posts and cables in front of the cockpit, it certainly drifts too far from the intended silhouette of the film aircraft and would ruffle some feathers among hardcore Miyazaki fans...
I'm exhaust so I'll shut up now, relevant links below:
