I was just daydreaming...as I often do at work!... and I was curious if there are any potential Me-110's that will ever slip the surly bonds of Earth ever again. Seeing the videos of restored 109's fly sends chills down my back. It would be amazing to hear something with twin DB's go by. I'm guessing (hoping) that maybe Mr. Allen has something stashed away, but anyone know? I remember that several years ago the Alpine Fighter Collection had several 110 projects for sale...as well as a few JU-87 projects.

Short answer, no.

Think of something that's going to cost, say, roughly 10 Mustang rebuilds for something with value of 1/2 - 2 Mustangs depending on finding a buyer.

There's no projects currently available for rebuild to fly; the Alpine ones having moved on. It would, even with one of the extant examples, be essentially a scratchbuilding job.

Pity.
