Henschel0385 or better - Martin,

this is most interesting an I´m glad somebody took care about the sad remnants of the Warthog´s only surviving ancestor.

Apart from the conservation and restoration work - is there any thought about the reconstruction of essential parts of the Hs 129 for better public display?
I would think of a partial reconstruction of the fuselage nose with belly guntroughs and complete armoured canopy.
I´d be glad to hear about your plans - like many of this community surely will do.

Regards

Roland

Yes, the longterm aim is to place the cockpit on display with maybe one day returning it to Germany. I have searched for many years to find any of the forward panels, canopy and nose cone, with no success as yet.

I also am looking for the gunsight mount for the Revi C12/D. I am currently restoring the Gunsight Vane plate, which I found in Poland!

My aim is to restore this important aviation relic to its 1942 state keeping in mind its longterm preservation.

Today I am working on the magnetic fuel shutoff valve that controlled fuel for the petrol heater in the nose and the Ammunition counter box SZKK4.
