Clint. The Nate has a typical stylised Sentai or Shimbu-Tai number (37) this is listed on the 2nd link here, but it says Ki.36 not Ki.27 though they may well have had some; apparently these were numbered in the Philippines. Note the paragraph next to the Oscar in the Ameblo site.

Hello Nick,


Thanks for the links and information. Cerainly it is not implausible that the machine is No.37 Shinbu Tai, given that Tachiarai Army Flying School also operated the Ki-27. Where I'm hoping for a little clarification from you, is in your statement that the marking is a stylised 37.Happy to accept this is the case,given you've said so,but the character to my mind at least doesn't resemble any of 第三十七. Should I be looking elsewhere or is it that you've seen this marking previously on an aircraft of that unit?


Regards,


Clint
