I hope you don’t think these are real photos of a J27 when you say “they do exist” haha.

The SAAB J 27 did not exist as a real aircraft, even though it is a well-documented Swedish project on paper. What is usually referred to as “J 27” was SAAB’s internal Project L-27, developed in 1945 as a design study for a high-performance piston fighter. It never progressed beyond drawings, calculations, and concept discussions. No prototype was ordered, no airframe was laid down, and the aircraft never flew.
The confusion often comes from the fact that the project received an official planned designation (J 27) and survives in archives through sketches, descriptions, and later reconstructions. However, having a designation and drawings does not mean the aircraft existed physically. In September 1945 the project was formally cancelled, when the Swedish Air Force decided to abandon further piston-engine fighters in favor of jet aircraft. SAAB was instead tasked with jet-converting the J 21, which led to the J 21R and later the J 29.
Because no aircraft was ever built, there are no authentic photographs of a real J 27. The images often presented as “proof” are scale models or artistic reconstructions, usually based on SAAB sketches or later interpretations. These models were created decades after the project was cancelled and do not represent a completed or flown aircraft. They are useful for visualization, but they are not evidence that the J 27 ever existed in reality.

Br will be 1:32 and you will have to buy aced toy soldier. Aced hand for better flight parameters. Aced imagination for more cannon damage.
