The Nakajima Ki-27 "Nate" was the standard fighter aircraft in the japanese airforce from 1937-1942. It was very successful due to its lightness, even though it had less power than its competitors. The lightness made this plane very maneuverable, so it could compete with Hawker Hurricanes, P-40s or Brewster Buffalos, even though they were much more powerful and sophisticated designs. Later during the pacific war some were modified to trainer-aircraft, and some others (you guessed it) to do some good ol´kamikaze. Have fun with this simple build!
