I don't think those are PT-13s. The shapes of the wing tips, rudder and elevators are wrong.

That's good camo. I'm having trouble seeing the TBD shape.

Mitsubishi Ki-46s and Ki-15 from 2nd Sentai HIKO
IMHO it's the 3rd chutai (yellow). The second would be with white tail marking (the first - red).
Both images are from the internet.

I can double check for you. Let me look at my trusty book. I love to see an interest in what I really enjoy.

It does look yellow. It could be white.

Thanks for your reply!
What you show above is the standard (most common) practice for Chutai-colours in the Sentai. Some time ago I was dealing with the question what is the colour of the Sentai-markings in two very particular cases: Ki-44s of Makoto Ogawa and Yoshio Yoshida. Both known as members of the 3rd chutai, thus should have yellow markings.
I never believed this theory - the marking was too dark to be yellow, compared with the red hinomaru.
After months of comparing sources and searching through the newer ones I found this:
So as per the above the first Chutai had red markings, not white.
I personally have never seen 70th Sentai Ki-44 with white markings - maybe they existed but photos are not easy to find.

The pistol looks like the love child of a 1911 and a Colt auto 38.
