Re: BAD Me109 G-14 restoration.

Restoration of such aircraft is always difficult, 'Black 6' took 19 years and considerable effort albeit by a group of willing volunteers. Even with our contacts and enthusiastic help we struggled a lot of the time, but time we had. A company doing this as a commercial venture obviously has to trade off cost(time) with accuracy and need for the same. I applaud them for taking on the challenge. Very few historic aircraft are going to be perfectly accurate and some engineering license is going to occur to achieve any sort of acceptable result. Of course it does depend on the resources they could access and decide to use - or not.
