Yokosuka D3Y1-K by Valom in 1/72

[windswords]

A great effort for this somewhat unknown aircraft. I hope you post pics of the finished model.

I did a two part article on the D3A "Val" dive bomber for a FB group I am in. In part 2 I mention the D3Y.

Paint looks great

Finished. I really think Japanese aircraft pop when the Hinomaru national markings are applied.

Nicely done.

Dohh I noticed the tail wheel had been knocked off. Luckily I found it on the workbench and pinned and glued it back in place.

Nicely done. Good thing you found that wheel.

It was on the bench beside my cutting mat. I had horrible visions of getting on my knees and battling the carpet monster
