This D3A1 VAL is part of a 3 model kit that Hasegawa released a few years ago. The other two planes are an A6M2 Zero and an B5N2 Kate. All 3 planes presented in this kit took part in the initial attack on Pearl Harbor, and were launched off Imperial Japanese Carriers. I have already completed the B5N2 Kate which is featured in some of the forced perspective photos which were taken on a 1:48 replica of the IJN carrier Hiryu (24”x36”). Next up is the A6M2 Zero!
