I don't think anyone else has made an IL2 skin for these two aircraft (they probably have) but, here are mine... (it's the first skins I've uploaded btw, so please excuse any mistakes)

Ki-61 Hein Type I-Koh, flown by Corporal Matsumi Nakano, 244th Flight Regiment, Shinten Seiku-tai (aerial special attack squadron), Chofu Air Base, late February 1945. Matsumi Nakano safely returned to base having made a successful ramming attack against a B-29 on December 3rd 1944. The kill markings reflect his victories.



and

Ki-61-I-Otsu Hein flown by Sgt. Masao Itagaki, 244th Sentai, Chofu Air Base, early 1945. This pilot flew for some time with the Shinten-Tai or Special Attack flight of the 244th and survived at least 2 successful ramming attacks. One of those attacks was on 12/3/44 on which occasion he parachuted to safety.

Believe it or not - he landed his Hien! hock:

"On December 3, 1944, Corporal Matsumi Nakano of 244 Sentai's special Shinten (body attack) detachment, flying from Chofu airfield near Tokyo, caught up with a box-formation of twelve B-29s. After two failures to approach, he made a third dive on an aircraft in the centre of the box. He missed and ended up just under the bomber's fuselage. After a few seconds of level flight he zoomed in at full throttle and tore into one of the horizontal stabilizers with his propeller. He then ascended, as if his Hien was fixed to the B-29. After a while the bomber began to fall down and a moment later Nakano somehow managed to disengage and belly-landed safely.
His plane was displayed outside of Tokyo's Matsuya Department Store during Christmas, together with a full scale mock-up of the B-29 and some parts of the bombers wreck. (See photographs. The moderate damage to the lower parts of the Hien seems to indicate Nakano possibly landed gear-down!).
On January 27, 1945, Nakano, now promoted to St.Sergeant, was flying together with Sgt. Masao Itagaki (who had also succeeded in two ramming attacks!). They found a formation of ten B-29s flying slightly below. Nakano dove, missed again, tore off the bombers tail, just like on the first occasion, and made another safe belly-landing."
