Ki-46 loss, Medan airfield, Sumatra '45
At 7:20 AM on 4 January 1945 a "Dinah" was claimed shot down by Corsairs of 1834 Squadron, Fleet Air Arm. The Ki-46 was in a landing configuration when engaged, 2 miles east of Medan airfield, Sumatra. The aircraft was described as having "jungle camouflage" with light coloured undersurfaces (probably dark green with light grey).
What unit could this aircraft have belonged? Would it have been a Ki-46-II or -III model?

Re: Ki-46 loss, Medan airfield, Sumatra '45
NB. Judging from Martin Ferkl's Revi book on the "Dinah" this would have been a Ki-46-III of the Dokuritsu 74th Chutai. I was just wondering if there were any other possibilities as well.
