I saw the Hs129 cockpit a few years ago in Sydney , what a beast the whole aircraft would have been !. You can see a few photos on the Preserved Axis Aircraft site. Cockpit instruments were being cleaned and the pilots armoured seat was just finished at the time of my visit.
There was a Hs129 wreck discovered in Sth.Russia in 1995 .. unfortunately those who found it had no idea what they had and took it to the local scrap merchant ;-((
