what to do when you run out of Japanese decals.....XP-73

[oz rb fan]

i built this years ago and in cleaning up recently and the decals were falling off,so this was created.





so the story.
imagine an early post war period with out jet propulsion
after the Japanese surrendered the blue prints for the shinden were taken to the us where they were used to repair the prototype and it was reengined with the r3350 as a power unit,flown under the designation of the xp-73,it was tested extensively and whilst promising it was not chosen for production and was later returned to it's Japanese configuration and donated to the Smithsonian museum where it is waiting to be restored and put on display.


it's the hasegawa 1/48 kit built out of box and the decals are from a revell p-51.

Pretty! As a USAF aircrfat it would not "need" the red-brown propeller?
