Among the many types that was abandoned by the Japanese in some numbers at the end of WWII is the Ki-43. This is one of them, recovered from Babo airfield in West Papua in the 1980s and restored statically to represent one of about 12 that were pressed into service by the Indonesians during their independence struggle against the Dutch in the late 1940s

A dozen Ki-43s, left behind by the Japanese army, were put to limited use by the Indonesians in their independence war against the Dutch. This aircraft was actually found later in New Guinea. It is carrying drop tanks. The cockpit canopy appears to be wrong.
