Those are the only two complete Stukas. There is one being restored here in Germany to be put into a Museum here.

They have half a Stuka at a museum about an hour from here but it is in unrestorable condition. I cant wait till they get the 3rd Stuka restored here in Germany.

There is a better unrestored one in Berlin than one that is near where I live.

I was wondering the same thing. I'm gonna make a great leap in logic and guess that alcohol was involved.

And Adler, if they put the Stuka in a museum, are they allowed to put the Swastika on it? Serious question by the way.

After I typed that, I double checked... I only saw one version with retractable gear and the engine cowling is different so your probably right.

If the fairings are just missing, I would think they'd fab some new ones just for display purposes.

 

[Matt308]

I've seen operational pics where they were removed. Removal was attributed to keeping ice and mud from freezing in the fairing on the Eastern Front.

 

[comiso90]

It just doesn't look right without those coverings!...

 

[Matt308]

I agree.
