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!

Beautiful work on this one. I really enjoyed following this build. I love the weathering and paint work. It looks exactly how I imagine it should. Great work on the Kate too. And I love the photos on your carrier deck.

Man......this build really IS "all that". You brought out all the detail with the effects that you applied to the skins of this bird, then you top it all off with a couple of well painted up figures and THEN you top all that off with this excellent camera work that you do. Your building, weathering and photography skills are to be admired Keith. Job well done pal.  |

 Again I really dig the carrier base that you use to take pics. I can't wait to see your next build. Pre-shading work is the KEY in your successful builds. |

I use to really struggle with the line between too much and too little pre shading. I feel like I’ve found exactly where I wanna be on this one. |

I thought the Val was looking wonderful by itself! Now with added figures on the flight deck puts it over the top!
