I visited the Chino museum a few years ago.  It really is a must-see for warbird fans.  Besides the great collection of real planes, it has the biggest collection of scale models I've ever seen in one place.

A few of the other things that, to me, were astounding, all of them actual aircraft, not replicas:

The world's only flyable Zero and one of the few left in any condition.
An He-162A-1 Volksjager.
A J8M1 Shusui.
A G4M1 Betty.
A J2M3 Raiden.
A Horten Ho-IV Flying Wing Glider.

Hey Kill, sorry I missed your post yesterday.  I went there last year when we went to Nevada last summer.   I thought it was well worth the $10 but then I'm a sucker for old cars and planes...  here are a few shots from my trip

maybe if you're a cute little blonde kid they'd let you inside the 109?
