This decal set provides a comprehensive selection of historically researched markings covering multiple aircraft, units, and theaters of operation.

The Nakajima Ki-27 was a primary fighter of the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force at the outset of the Pacific conflict. Known for its maneuverability and use on multiple fronts in Asia and the Pacific, the Ki-27 served in diverse environments including China, Southeast Asia, Japan, and occupied territories. Its varied service history makes it a frequent subject in historical aviation modeling.

The decals are printed on thin carrier film to support accurate placement on the Ki-27’s lightweight biplane-style surfaces and control articulations. This set is compatible with any 1:72 scale plastic model kit depicting the Nakajima Ki-27 and is recommended for advanced modelers due to the number of marking options and the variation in unit emblems and theater schemes.
