Info from their web site:
To date, the Fw 189 Society has undertaken the vast majority of the pre-restoration work, ie removal of damaged skins, paint-stripped, treated and re-protected the Centre Section in our own workshop, overseen by Jim Pearce. Some structural parts of the restoration have been remanufactured by one of our specified sub-contractors Airframe Assemblies Ltd on the Isle of Wight and they are in the process of making the Jig. The wings, tailbooms, fins and tailplane are with Flug Werk GmbH in Munich and work is underway. The engines are with DeltAir Ltd in Hampshire and the overhaul is now complete. Authorisation has been given to overhaul the propellers and engine bearers and work is about to commence. (All our sub-contractors have Civil Aviation Authority approval).
Regards,
Paul

Its a restoration/re-build not a replica.
