I have decided to go with the "Twin Engine Aircraft" portion of this Split Build GB.
The subject will be White 59, 3rd Hikotai (Squadron) of the 53rd Sentai (Fighter Regiment) based at Matsudo Airfield near Tokyo in February 1945.
White 59 is a Late Production Ki-45 'Kai Tei' Long Nose variant, it's diagonal Red Fuselage Stripe reportedly represents the Hikotai Commanders aircraft.
The Toryu was a twin-engine fighter aircraft designed and developed by Kawasaki Aircraft Industries for the Imperial Japanese Army. The Ki-45 proved to be particularly capable of intercepting large aircraft, playing a major role in the defense of the mainland up until the very end of the war.
