IJAAF 73rd Independent Chutai Ki-51 camo question

[flateric]

Are there any reliable sources on camouflage used by Ki-51 of 73rd Independent Chutai?

Surely I did. Question was about camo...

There was a brief mention of a camo scheme, but it might have been specific to that particular airframe.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't find pictures of the 73rd, I think it would have been better if that day the Japanese pilot had stayed drinking sake next to the dusty runway, instead of attacking a poor submarine that had nothing against the Imperial Army.
