          Yes this is the same ; it would have been better that they leave it as it was, but... the one who decides is the one who has the money and/or the power, not the wise man.

          I remember a picture showing a Bf 109 engine cover still featuring its original paint with the JG4 insignia... before scouring. This reminds me of archaeological discoveries before XXth century, when they did not care too much with scientific procedures. Maybe in the future, next generations of restorers/collectors will not understand that some original markings has been sanded....

              Not so agree with you guys, what will be happened then when people would have known that in the wood there was an aircraft? I think each one of them would have kept a piece as souvenir or to sell it around the world! But put it as found in a museum yes, keeping its original colors and fly insignias, saveing a piece of story and a rare aircraft

                  Sorry I didn't mean that they should have left the aircraft in the forest, but simply put it , as it was (without sanding...etc) in a museum ; only by using some chemicals or something like that to preserve the metal from corroding

                    personally, I would have kept it as is...and displayed it in a museum, in the condition it was found.

                    All the skins, ribs, and stingers were replaced...plus 85% of the remaining parts, in order to be airworthy.

                    In the end...they should have just made NEW, kept it as is, and use the werk # of the forest find as the main werk.

                      Let's hope they don't cut it in half and sell the two sides. It's happened before!

                              I think the same.
                              What a mess to see such a great plane, that still had much of it's original paint, completely rebuilt. Probably they did better if they rebuilt a new one from zero.
                              From my point of view they destroyed an original to make a fake.
                              People that make these kinds of restorations does not deserve to be rich, if they use their money in this criminal way!
