Japanese Profiles.

Have you tried asking Blade and/or Busa for help on this one?

No.
I was hoping they or someone else would happen along on this & some of the other aircraft I listed.

[lyric1]

Tad off subject but there is a few good photos that may help with panel lines & so forth.

This one not 100% sure about however I think it is a match.

246 Sentai.

Not a great photo the aircraft in the background at least confirms the stripe on the tail.



This KI-44 photo also confirms tail markings.

[lyric1]

Decent colourised photo.

 52nd Sentai 3rd Chutai.

Army Flight Test Centre.

  Really don't know how you would list this aircraft if it was to be skinned. I had this pilot Isamu Sasaki listed in the achievements for six B-29 kills in a KI-84. At the time I posted it I only could find a profile. The colourised photo seems to be different on a few points. A red fuselage band a standard brown spinner & it looks like the rudder is a repair job & has not been repainted yet.

That bottom pic is of a Ki-44, not an -84.

Your right only read the text in the link didn't look hard enough at the aircraft.

Another aircraft from this unit. There is no complete photo of this aircraft & it had a few changes over time.
This link below tells its story & it so happens I have both books that mentions the images.

Too big an image for my scanner.




I think the second aircraft over is the plane in question with no kill markings yet based off of the two profiles.



The pilot Lt. Kurai and his arm patch with kill markings.



Partial view of the three striped profile.



Then there is the money shot.

Few more form this group.

[lyric1]

Another aircraft from the 22nd Sentai.

Never seen this photo before of another 22nd Sentai KI-84.



No profile to go with it though it is from a recently published Japanese magazine. 

Guessing white spinner first stripe yellow second is white looks like the bottom corner of the rudder is another colour possibly yellow? No number yet has been painted on it. Bare metal under the horizontal portion of the tail.

Another 73rd Sentai aircraft.

Have you tried asking Blade and/or Busa for help on this one?

I asked Blade to translate the #508 aircraft.

Thank you for that. 


The plane was used by No.185 - No.194 Shinbu-Tai, Shimodate-Airfield, Ibaraki-Prefecture.
That picture was taken June 1945 and was not painted & only a rough No. "508" written.
200 litre Unification tanks with each wing, & filled with water for dummy weight.
Trained Kamikaze-attack ... Dive-bombing ,take off and landing.

Thank you.

I have been trying to find photos of 29th Sentai Ki-84's & I have only found one that is a known 29th aircraft that crash landed.



No elaborate tail markings on this one. It is possibly this airplane in the profiles but I cant tell for sure.

Found a photo of the tail in the profiles.
