SIDE LINED AIRCRAFT:

Allied control of the air kept many Japanese aircraft grounded due to lack of supplies, oil and spare parts. Check out what looks like a field modification to that Lily with long green house canopy no production a/c had that, must have been used as a transport, anyway that's my guess.
The Lily had poor defensive armament most models carried 3 x flexible 7.7mm type 89 machine guns and 1 x 12.7mm flexible heavy machine gun. Bomb load 300kg/661lb, Ki-48-I, 400kg/ 882lb Ki-48-II, maximum bomb load 400kg/882lb Ki-48-I and up to 800kg/1764lb
Ki-48-II before wars end like all Japanese aircraft the Lily would be expended in suicide attacks against allied forces
