Japanese Profiles.

Could never make out the three digits on the bottom of the tail on this aircraft.
Found this profile that is most likely a match.

56th Sentai.







Another 19th Sentai aircraft looks like it had a rudder repair.

53rd Sentai.

This aircraft was later transferred to the 19th Sentai.
The original 53rd squadron tail art is still visible under the 19th.
You can get a two for 1 out of this aircraft if you wanted to.

Some more photos of this aircraft.










I think on this profile the artist got his colours reversed on the tail should be red on the complete & yellow on the partial tail image. I do agree though on the different coulours on the fuselage stripes though.



Good colour reference image.



59th Sentai.

Not a great photo it is supposed to be the tail of a ki-61?

78th Sentai.





Also not such a great photo aircraft on the left #37.

55th Sentai.

17th Sentai.

Another view of this aircraft now I know where the white looking square on the rudder came from on the profiles.

At some point the 18th tail markings had changed.
