Are there any of these still in existence? I haven't heard much about Japanese bombers surviving the war, I know a few zekes survived, but not much else, or at least to my knowledge.

there's about like 20 zerosens around the world in pristine condition, There are no G4M bombers fully intact, there is a restored tail section of one in a museum in Japan

Such a shame too, you Japanese had such a talent for designing beautiful aircraft, very pleasing to look at.
