Aichi D3A Val

1,200 KamikazeMLG  6.8 years ago

As always, this model is built 1:1 scale. Great for dive bombing, which is its main role in any case. Bomb can be released using [1] as well and does have a chase cam.
As always, enjoy and keep on flying!

The Aichi D3A Type 99 Carrier Bomber, (Allied reporting name "Val") was a World War II carrier-borne dive bomber. It was the primary dive bomber of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN), and participated in almost all IJN actions, including the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Aichi D3A was the first Japanese aircraft to bomb American targets in the war, commencing with Pearl Harbor and U.S. bases in the Philippines, such as Clark Air Force Base. Vals sank more Allied warships than any other Axis aircraft, despite being considered obsolescent when the war started.
