1/32 D3A1 VAL?

it is amazing that neither Hasegawa nor Tamiya, both Japanese manufacturers, have sought to fill out the gap that exists in terms of 1/32 Japanese Pearl Harbour attackers: Yes, there may be the excellent Tamiya A6M2 Zero, but no Val, no Kate? Staggering. Let’s hope The Infinity Models Val is successful and affordable.

 

Best regards

The Japanese kit makers are definitely patriotic when it comes to some of the iconic Japanese stuff from WWII.

 

They all have a ton of Zeros, Yamato battleships, etc.

 

And yet no Val or Kate.  And even a lot of the WWII Japanese aviation stuff available in 1/48 scale is now very dated and could use a retool.

 

It's weird!
