Thanks Guys,

the next few are all I could take in the main areas as some sections photo's are not to be taken, as many pictures show war dead and pictures are very much frowned upon.

One of the battleship Nagato's boiler, a model of Nagato and a general shot.

It would have been so impressive for you to walk around in the museum, Wayne.
The mini sub set was for NHK drama "真珠湾からの帰還 (Return from Pearl Harbor)" produced in 2011.
Story of the first Japanese POW Kazuo Sakamaki.

TAMIYA contributed a lot to restore the Zero as a volunteer.
Rear half of the fuselage is said genuine TAMIYA made.
