I visited the U-H wing of the museum about two weeks after the Halb was set out. It was 1 of three that were in Krako Poland. US Air Force got one, Poland got one and Smithsonian got one, Each was restored by Poles, I don't know who paid for the work but I imagine The US which got two.
The original Lozenge evidently was on parts of the Wings or tail so the new fabric was copied, the guide to whom I was talking said the Fabric was printed by one of the original manufacturors, I don't know whether that's true but my source said that several extra bolts were made in a true production run.
That was from the guide. the aircraft looked beautiful. and impressive.
