aircraft markings for leader of 33 Sentai wanted
Hi all. Any experts on Japanese aircraft markings out there?
Kiyoshi Namai led the 33rd Sentai from late 44 to March 1945.
Can anyone tell me what markings, including the colours of the markings, his Ki-43-III would have carried? Or even perhaps maybe carried?
There is very little photographic info available regarding this unit, apart from the basic white/red/yellow unit insignia options. I know cobalt blue was often used by Sentai commanders, but did this unit use that? And the size and number of fuselage bands and wing stripes always leave me confused.
I have the books by Hata, Izawa and Shores (Army Units and Aces) and the Osprey Army Aces and Ki-43 books, so no need to quote info from them, unless of course you think I missed something.
Thanks
Peter
