Fuselage Like all the aircraft in storage, the Ju 388 was in a dismantled state. The NASM staff were replacing the old wood supports which had become distorted and could have damaged the plane.

Cockpit Inside the cockpit the plane looked almost untouched, all the instruments were present and the paint looked new and crisp.

Rear Fuselage The remotely controlled FA 15 barbette at the rear of the fuselage, minus its two 13mm MG 131 machine guns. Above the rear wheel, the horizontal stabilser has been removed revealing 02 primer. The stenciling is probably original, the US authorities tended to apply their own stencils in English when required.
