This might be a somewhat complicated way to do so but you can use a custom IPerspectiveAwareModel implementation. The IPerspectiveAwareModel::handlePerspective method returns a Pair of a model and a matrix of transforms to apply so you can in theory return a different model based on the TransformType you are getting.

 

Edit: as for displaying the number of arrows you will need to render that manually in a handler of  RenderGameOverlayEvent of a Hotbar type.
