[ARC5] Nakajima BN5 conversion - How many things are wrong with this?

[David Stinson]

My experience with them would indicate historic accuracy
is likely low on their priority list. They'll go that direction
until it interferes with the 1st priority and no further.

1st priority is whatever brings-out the Rubes and
opens their wallets.  If painting Mayor McCheese
on the "Nakajima" tail would do that, it'll be done.
