The Ki-27 was perhaps the most maneuverable fighter ever built. Known by the Allies as "Nate" (also "Abdul" in the CBI Theater) the Ki-27 had an immediate impact on the air war raging in the skies over China when it was first used by Imperial Japanese Army units in March 1938. It also proved it effectiveness against Soviet fighters in the Nomonhan Incident (the "Battle of Khalkhin Gol" to the Russians) where it easily outclassed the Polikarpov I-15 biplane and proved a match for the early I-16 monoplanes as well.

Photography of these little gems is a challenge for our equipment and limited skills, we hope that we've been able to show the well proportioned model including the detailed canopy, the spatted landing gear, the engine cowling with spinner and the tail assembly complete with a tiny tail skid!

Although the surfaces are not perfectly smooth (3D printing is done in layers), the plastic used can be sanded and painted much the same way you would handle resin or styrene.

NOTE: While we currently maintain limited inventories of most items, some items may be "printed on demand", which usually requires 10-15 business days from order to shipment.
