About time there were more GA aircraft models

The SR20 has the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_Recovery_Systems).
CAPS is a whole-plane ballistic parachute recovery system designed specifically for Cirrus Aircraft's line of general aviation light aircraft including the SRV, SR20 and SR22. The design became the first of its kind used as standard equipment on a certified aircraft,[8] and was adapted from the GARD system initially released for the Cessna 150.[9] As in other BRS systems, a solid-fuel rocket housed in the aft fuselage is used to pull the parachute out from its housing and deploy the canopy full within seconds. The goal of employing this system is the survival of the crew and passengers and not necessarily the prevention of damage to the airframe.
So an ambitious modeler could build this display:
