Description
A Nakajima K-27 "Abdul" (designated "Nate" later by Allies) of the Imperial Japanese Air Force bests a Chinese Polikarpov I-15 in a tussle over Mongolia. Although a very capable and worthy adversary, the I-15 was no match for the nimbler single wing Ki-27.
Both Ki-27 and the I-15 courtesy of master modeler Pedro Caparros (generously free on sharecg) with texture modifications.
Composed and rendered with DazStudio and finished in PsCs3.

It was hardly a fair fight, and the Chinese not only had a quality disadvantage they had a numerical disadvantage in the air too. A good representation of the painful struggle they endured.
Nice work
Nice Bill....
Wow! Really nice piece o'work Weelie
Nice job as usual.
The Japanese had the far better air force in the region in these days. Well made action.
Fine action render! Love those 1930's designs.
Thank you very much!
