The Fieseler Fi-103R-I Reichenberg, at the Olympic Flight Museum should count in this bracket. Don't think they fly it!
Fantasy of flight has a replica Bachem Ba 349 Natter

I'm surprised the Me209 still survives, minus wings. It would great if it eventually gets preservation treatment.

Let's see, I think NASM has a Japanese "Kikka" the Me262-like twin jet. He 162 , AF museum, I think. There is a Japanese "Dinah" in England and a 4 engine "Emily" flying boat in Japan. A couple of "Ohkas" here and there.

The Canada Aviation Museum in Ottawa has an unrestored He-162 disassembled in storage. I'll post pics when I get home.

Do they have two?
If not, it has moved on to the UK.

I wouldn't call the Ar 234, He 219 or Irving experimental, they saw plenty of service.

Planes of Fame has a Japanese version of the Me163 (sorry, I don't know the "proper" Japanese nomenclature 
). First, is that real or a replica? Second, it looks like it's got a longer canopy...almost like a two seater...is that the case, or am I way off there? Any other info on that machine?
