Nakajima Ki27 (NATE)...pics

I could’nt let this one get by me…wow, what a great looking bird! It was connected with the ‘Manchoukuo Air Corps’ whatever that is. I had fun building this one. Everything OOB except for decal seatbelt and I used the water and salt method to get the blown off paint look…thanks Swanny, it worked very well. 1/48 from Hasegawa.

Pretty cool! Not every day that you see something different. Looks like your salt chipping turned out well. My first attempt at it was a bust[:(]

Looks like the process worked very well for you – glad I could be of help.

Very nice build Tommy. Thanks for sharing.

Regards, Rick

Great looking bird indeed. Beautifull work.

Tommy - vey nice job indeed. One to be proud of for sure.

If I remember right this aircraft flew in Manchuria during the Japanese invasion of China. I have this kit and have been looking for decals for Suburo Sakai. Any idea where I can find some?

Nicely done. You did a find job on the weathering.

ikar01 is correct - the Japanese had set up a puppet government in Manchuria which had its own Army and Air Corps - albeit equipped, maintained and manned by Japanese personnel.

great job

Great looking build.

The weathering is spot on, especially the paint chipping.

Very nice model - my congratulations !

Cool…Thats a a real head turner, nice work! Darren.

Very , very good finish!!!

Love it!!!

That turned out incredible.,…fantastic finish and wash. Plus, that is a neat, oft overlooked subject. It makes me want to buy the kit.

ikar01…I haven’t found anything on those decals yet but if I do I’ll be sure to let you know. Thanks to everyone for all the compliments. [4:-)]

I like the looks of her

Outstanding job[tup]

Great looking build there Tug.

As a fan of Japanese aircraft i have seen this kit but wondered if it was an interesting enough plane to consider building…well you convinced me…looks like it will be on my next wish list.

I bullt the exact same kit last year just for the Manchukuo markings - certainly different looking. Your finish came out looking great.
