Country:  | 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.

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

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

Country: | 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.
