Guys, I made "the trip" trough the variants and different armaments of Ki.45 a few years ago and I must tell you it's a long and hard one. Most of the sources (incl. some of the Japanese) are giving wrong information about the ventral gun, combinations of ventral and nose gun, the additional machine guns in the nose etc. There are early and late variants, there are mods and factory production a/c which are different etc.Wow, I had the illusion that this was it, then I've been looking at the hase kits and I've seen your kit... my fault, as if I had thought to do this I thought it was the same without contemplating that you were going to do another version. .. the cravings can me!!!! ha ha ha
Which a/c do you mean - the one you posted in your first post? Shown on page 52 in the above mentioned book?Yves. I just found three more photos of this aircraft in this book

Google Translate reads the caption as this...
If you speak of the photos on page 49 in FAOTW, it's really a HEI and this is some uniquely modified night fighter. I don't even see any nose gun on the top photo (as you also mentioned in an earlier post)!
