And secondly, the Kate is still coming, in spite of the 1/35 Border Kate. This is all good news as I will be happily buying both of these! Bill M.

Thunnus Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I am interested in both the D3A and B5N but... is anybody else concerned with the "quilted" look of the aircraft exterior skin caused by the rivets? adameliclem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony T Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Liking these a lot, including the oil canning, except for the a-la-Airfix canopy framing which will require a custom kabuki mask that fits perfectly. Definitely intending to buy both kits as they're just so different from mainstream subjects. Thanks for posting the pics.

It looks really exaggerated to me on the D3A. Check out this recovered tail section at John Gerber’s Pacific War Museum. Even in a wrecked state, the joints on the rear fuselage are quite smooth and taut. The Infinity B5N surfaces look more restrained, at least from the glimpse Jan posted.

Bill M. Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Has there been any date given as to when the Val and the Kate might be released?…. Any projections as to how close these are? Bill M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 I do not know but a release on December 7th would be a bit over the top kalashnikov-47, Bill M., Uncarina and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phasephantomphixer Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Thank you for the updates, very excited these are getting done - Great additions to 1/32! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckD Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Has there been any discussion of add-on PE for these kits? I was pretty put off but their helldiver release that was A: expensive in its own right, and B: practically required factory PE to be complete. Add to the fact that the PE was/is almost never in stock anywhere, which only magnifies my frustration. Do we know if the Kate and Val be handled similarly?
