It has "some" interior fittings attached to it from some pics I have seen around. Complete ? No clue however.
From Mikael great ressource site....againhttp://www.preservedaxisaircraft.com/
From what I understand, Harada-san only has the tail portion, nothing else. I've heard that he desperately wants to complete the Betty project with the rest of the aircraft. Apparently, he even tried to export a Betty or two from the Pacific, but was not successful in his attempts.

The only "restored" fuselage that I'm aware of is the complete Betty example at the Beijing military museum. The only other complete fuselage in existence (outside of un-recovered wrecks), is the unrestored complete Betty at the POF in Chino.
