Supposing the Mitsubishi Ki-83 had been captured by the U.S. and evaluated successfully by the U.S. Navy and Marines, it could have led to a U.S.-built derivative, the Kaiser-Fleetwings XFK-1, and might have helped that company stay in the business for a little while longer...

No need to show you the original profile, since I didn't change a thing but the markings...

• This plane would have kicked ass if it made it into production! I wonder what happened to the ones the U.S. AAF captured? It would have made a hell of a museum piece! (Airforce1985)
• Boy, what a difference a paintjob makes. Great Americanization of this plane. It looks appropriate to the paint jobs of the times and looks like it would have fit into the American arsenal nicely. IMPRESSIVE!  (dinobatfan)
• THE GREATEST AIRCRAFT OF WWII!!!! one of the most beautiful! (Cipher80)
• Please make more pictures of the Mitsubishi Ki83, please? (aceofaces1980)
• As always, my favorite aircraft! I would have used it in Korea & Vietnam!! (DemonDogMarine1960)
