I've seen the remains last month which they have in Bod?, Norway of Skua. They have quite a lot material but it is a question on time, space and resourses when the project can start. They first have to work on the Ju 88 and the Pe 2, then the Bf 109G and I guess the Fw 190 would be in turn to take into the workshop before work on the skua starts. I don't know of any museum that have so many projects going on at the same time. They've got the S??ski project too now and they should have recovered remains of a Norseman by now.
