Aaaah, finally a Spitfire that I like ;D !!! Mitchell`s He70 inspired wings, a german engine and Jablo`s german patent airscrews! Nice.

The production model would look similar to this, Hurricane Mk.I, ordered in 1937. 24 were license built in Zmaj (Dragon) aircraft factory, the next batch would have been produced with DB601A engines due to the lack of Merlins. The April war halted all further progress.

Messerschmitt Bf 109 evaluated by Japan:

Messerschmitt Bf 109 Evaluated by Japan - Destination's Journey

Five Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-7s were acquired by the Japanese in 1941, without armament, for evaluation. None were flown in combat

Also dates are vague but most sources seem to agree on 1941. There are also brief reports about one or two Bf 109G or G-4 shipped later via submarine in 1942.
