I think the Seller misidentified this one, I think that is a Nakajima Ki-44
Tojo
Yep, it's a Shoki. I even think this is the same a/c as on the photos below - a Ki-44-IIc (hei). Note (on the photo above) how the 20mm wing guns have covers, often misidentified as the 40mm cannons on some Ki-44-II planes.

GERMANY 1940, Weltbild photo, WWII, Japan trains its young pilots

In the name of rearmament.

Japan is training its young pilots.
A six-year plan to strengthen the Japanese armed forces has just been announced in Tokyo. As part of this massive rearmament effort, for which approximately 11 billion yen has been earmarked, the Japanese Air Force will also be significantly strengthened.

U.B.: Training of young Japanese pilots at Kasumigaura Airport. The flight instructor illustrates his presentation with a model.
