ki-61-I-OTSU. The real aircraft was PROPABLY flown by Major Kobayashi of the 244th Sentai defending the Chofu area against the USAAF

Superfortress bombers during 1945. His aircraft is instantly recognizable by the unique "shamrock meatball" insignia painted on the fuselage. In addition there are 12 Superfortress kill or damage nose art markings on the port side.
