First welcome to the big "A" Tom.
Japanese aircraft cockpit colours including the instrument board and seat, were additionally coated with some interior colour, such as green-olive or grey-green ). Also the use of khaki-brown and black instrument panels are mentioned, especially on later models. The fuselage areas under the canopy were black. Other instruments and subassemblies in the cockpit were pre-painted black or dark-green. Most interior surfaces of the Ki-43, including wheel wells or inside the flaps, were covered with clear protective lacquer. Sometimes, but not always, some blue or blue-green pigment was added to the lacquer. Here is a pic,

Thanks Andy
