Hi from Greece. 
First of all I would like to congratulate all of you for this magnificent site.
An incomplete project I left some time ago due to lack of info,was a conversion of 1/48 Koster Aero Enterprises Fouga Magister into a Tzoukit.
A lot of work and detailing thanks to Isaac's walkaround photos and many thanks to all people that helped me by providing useful information has been done,and this site with this very nice dedication to Hatzerim museum which made my mind to grab it again.Will it be finnished?
We'll see.
At the moment cockpit and turbomeca marbore engine is finished as well as some control panels are opened and avionic details are installed.
So be patient,stay tuned and please feel free to comment or ask.
Thank you.
Zetman

If money will be found.As I have also seen in the museum in Sofia,there are many rare vehicles,like an Italian Pavesi artillery tractor,which is also left to be rotten as it was in a junkyard. 
Unfortunatelly,not only in Bulgaria but everywhere else,goverments dont consider spending lot of money restoring them.even in UK,thet are some clubs of military history enthousiast who collect money in order to keep them in good condition or even in flight.
So its up to private willing of some wealthy collectors.

Hi to all! The Arado rusts in peace in Krumono air base (museum since many years),about 6-10 km from Plovdiv(used to be named Fillipoupoli).This is one of the three still remainings of this type in the world,and with great sorrow and dissapointment realised that it has been destroyed.Indeed lot of hull cover is lost from last time I saw it live in 2005.
For the history,this plane was initially placed in Varna,and was about to be destroyed due to its sinfull past when Bulgaria was part of the Axis,and took place in the invasion and capitullation of Greece(North Greece,Macedonia and Thrace).
Maybe they didn't want anything "nazionalist" to remember the past....Who knows.
But fortunatelly at last,it was saved by some who realized its value and managed to place it in a museum.It was initially perserved with the Allied markings,the white/red roundels with a green stripe inside.
Until years passed and the "blood has been dried"-pls excuse for the comment,not in purpose/nothing personal,just facts- and they managed to repaint it in Axis Bulgarian markings operated from Varna.(I thing it is St.Andrews cross,if I am not wrong,used by the BVVS-Balgarski Voennovazdushni Sily- in WWII.)
However,they never thought to place it inside or move it to the national museum in Sofia to keep it away from all bad weather condition,but left it outdoor to meet its destiny.
To be destroyed and every visitor could have a part of it in his home...
