The aircraft was restored to flying condition by the joint USAAF/USN/Royal Australian Air Force Technical Air Intelligence Unit (TAIU) at Eagle Farm, Brisbane, Australia in late 1942 and early 1943. The aircraft was sent for evaluation at Wright Field in the US and wearing post-1943 style US insignia. Fate unknown. According to an article on J-aircraft.com Main Page, a war-time report said the over-all colour was "dove grey".

Not a modeler myself, but that is very cool. So interesting seeing it in the US color scheme.

Heck, it takes me five years to do five models - if I'm lucky ( and no I don't want to be Swedish !!).

Very nice and kind of disorienting, seeing it in those markings!
