this is an A-8/R2 that originally had Sturmbock equipment but the fuselage armor plate has been removed; however, the additional 30 mm armoured glass is still installed in the windshield quarter panel. It also appears that it has the common VDM 9-12067 A metal propeller. The hastily applied White '2' matches "Red 22" the well known A-9, W. Nr. 490044, also of II./JG 301.
Werknr 682989 from II./JG301 was reported as non-operational at Erfurt-Bindersleben
