I don't think that is a J7W1, perhaps it's a smaller mockup of one or some type of a test bed?

Think so too. Take a look at the gear.

It's one of three MXY6 gliders used for testing of Cpt. Massaoki Tsuruno's design in flight in 1943.

A restored Shinden by art college students in Kyusyu five years ago...

Maybe it's just me, but I liked Shinpachi's version because deep shadows forces the Shinden to the viewer's focus.

Thank You, Shinpachi-san!

I know that the artistic quality of the photo doesn't reveal as much detail as some people might like, but I liked your version better. It made the Shinden display appear mysterious and imposing!

Mysterious and imposing. Yes, that would be what art students intended.
Though I reported the same topic before, they dared to build their Shinden in the old original factory of Kyusyu Aircraft company which is now called Watanabe Ironworks.
