Stumbled upon this just now- hope it hasn't been posted before; if so, I apologize! I have a real love for everything flown by the Finns, past and present, so would give anything to be able to someday travel to Finland to see all the rare preserved aviation treasures. The Finns were brave and accomplished pilots and crews and seemed to be able to outfly their opponents using cast-offs and obsolescent aircraft. The Finns also seemed to take numerous and high quality photographs of the aircraft they flew- to the delight of modelers like myself and others. I am jealous of @antti and @Antti_K because they can see these incredible museum aircraft and artifacts at their leisure! Suomi ikuisesti!

Looking at a Mig-21bis and Mig-21UM as future projects!

Found this just now while trolling for schemes; evidently a B5N2 recovered from Papua, New Guinea is being restored to static display status. See the link below as well as an additional link to this aircraft's history. I would rather see a TBD, but the Kate was also a very historically significant aircraft, and just as rare.
