Ki-27b Malaya and Phillipines

[BH-21]

IMME made another beautiful template, only thing he left out that was really annoying was the exhaust vents under the radaitor flaps. That took a bit to track down. I started messing around with this, but I could use more references. Its a fun one to shoot at and hard to see against the ground. If anyone has more info, please share.

Well, I have worked some more on this one. Fixing the inevitable problems that crop up. I made a marked version of the 3rd Chutai 64th Sentai, Burma March 1942. Heres a couple of screen shots.

Lookin' good mate.

One thing tho...that Ki-27 is from the 50th Sentai 2nd Chutai. I'm currently working on the 50th as we speak.

[BH-21]

Hehe, darn books. The caption said 64th. I will change the file name then. Graf do you have anymore info on the green versions or other units.

[Graf]

In reality there were few green or camouflaged Ki27s in service. Such rarities could be seen amongst the 24th and 77th Sentais early in the war.

There were a few others based in Manchuria belonging to other Sentais but they are also rare to find.

I just recently purchased the book, "Nakajima Ki-27 Nate" published by Kagero. Has over 50 detaield color profiles of different Nates during the years. Very good find.

Well with more work and some help from Graf on the chutai colors. Further refinements were made. Many thanks to IMME for doing most of the work with his template.

Graf or anyone else, do the markings for the following Sentai remain the same from 1939 to 1942, (1st, 11th, 59th, 77th)?

[Graf]

Lookin' good!

Yes they do mate, for the most part.

1st Sentai varies somewhat I believe but not 100% sure.

11th retains their lightning on the tail. 59th retains their lightning on the fuselage. 77th keeps their lightning from tail to fuselage.
