Nice shots!

Curiously, that first picture is the box art for the 1/72 scale Hasegawa kit I have.

If I remember correctly, they have one down at Chino.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Yes, they do...and it is the most complete and original. The one in the Mitsubishi museum was built around a withered chunk of an aircraft wreck found in cave, way post war IIRC.

What really makes the Chino Shusui valuable, is it's a J8M1, which was not built in large numbers.

The second photo in post #1 is the Chino aircraft, too (airframe 403).

Those two pictured in post #15 are actually Yokosuka MXY8/KU-13 gliders (for training).
