Gluttons for punishment Bill

Karl, you've seen the 4th pic attached, but I don't know about the rest...

Pics 1-4: Squadron/ Signal No.176: Henschel Hs 129 In Action
Pic 5: German Aircraft Interiors 1935-1945 Vol.1, Kenneth A. Merrick ( - the Hs 129 used the ZFR-3B, but they are extremely similar)

Great, love it Karl! One of those birds that just looks like it's built for a specialised role - in this case tank busting!

(Considering joining this build with an Hs 123 myself)
