Japanese H-6 Radar
Pictures likely from around the end of the war, however, it’s very clearly capable of still defending itself.

Mitsubishi G4M “763-12”
his G4M was captured at Clark Airfield, Manilla on 24 February 1945. This airframe was equipped with a H-6 radar. Photos from various angles give a good overview of the layout of the antennas and the installation of the electronics inside.

Ton more pictures on the site but would help folks if you tried to add the Radar-related Japanese bombers. Since there is a whole ton of 1st sources as well as pictures.
There is also vehicles from other nations on it but not as much.
