Luzon 43 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Has anyone heard of any model company working on a D3A1 VAL. I would love to see this and kind of shocked you can’t get it in 1/32!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archimedes Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 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 Paul LSP_K2 and coogrfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssculptor Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Personality I have campaigning for a 1/32 Val and Kate since 2004,! Lots of luck to both of us. I finally picked up a 1/32 solid wood carved in the Phillipines models and they pacified me. Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best regards Paul 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! Pup7309, Gazzas and coogrfan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
