Question...

Will the museum be preserving all the original paint? It would be a shame if the museum destroyed the history by stripping and re-painting.

The Me109G cowling the museum has on it's current 109 proejct was all original with all the orginal paint. When it was givien to the museum, it was under the condition that it was not to be re-painted. The museum repainted it anyway, which ruined all the history...

Before and after:









Very sad...
