***UPDATE!***
Thanks to Jim Lansdale of www.j-aircraft.com , and Justin Tylan of www.pacificwrecks.com , the 13th Hikousentai will be updated with a rather surprising marking (which you can read about the search here: http://www.j-aircraft.org/smf/index.php?topic=7927.0
Though the 13th's Ki-45 marking is well known one of the more attractive of the IJAFC, it seems as though the 13th utilized another marking which has not been found to date on Ki-45's for their Ki-43's. Now you're going to look at this and state "no way, that's from a Ki-44 of the 47th Hikousentai, even the shadowing boarder very specific........Welp nope, it's proven via 3 different Ki-43 from Kamiri base in New Guinea....Below is the 13th's Ki-43 marking while there.
I'll be churning out some skins today.
