Thanks for this info, Doug! It was the straight trailing edge of the rudder that threw me off.
I have Pacific Profiles (and most of Claringbold's excellent books) and am now looking at the painting and the photograph of Tail Number Yellow 34 of the 3rd Chutai, 24th Hikō Sentai Ki-43-II at Palembang en route to New Guinea in early May 1943.
I'm really looking forward to seeing this build.
Incidentally, Jim Di Crocco sends good wishes. He has retired from the Army, but is still teaching at the USAWC and is finishing up his dissertation on the U.S. and Philippine Armies in the fall of the Philippines.
