Pretty birds!
Here is my Prague 2017 Repaint Contest Entry Aichi Val that scored the 2nd place of which I am so proud of.
It is almost historically accurate Lt. Egusa Takashige that took part in the attack on Pearl Harbor and it's green wingman in the background (load of green paint, what else to do with it?. "Almost", for it's tactical numbers differ and the yellow stripes may not be accurately aligned, but I am happy to have a flight of green Vals for some PTO missions.
The card was made exclusively by Mike "Old Guy". Thanks Mike!

Nice one, Nightbomber.
There's a solution for yor "stripe problem". A special masking tape from Tamiya.
Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!

Lovely 'Val' - very striking!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Now thats a sharp looking plane.
Those both look fantastic!
Nice job Andy

Are you planning a massive invasion with Japanese Imperial Navy planes, Steve?

I was thinking the same thing, have seen the excellent work on these and the Kates as well.Are you planning a massive invasion with Japanese Imperial Navy planes, Steve?
The target battleships are going to be HUGE!
Really nice work, Steve.
Aichi D3A 'Val' for Pearl Harbour, Battle of the Coral Sea and Midway
D3A from Carrier Hiryu - Pearl Harbour
D3A from carrier Hiryu - Battle of Midway
D3A from carrier Zuikaku - Battle of the Coral Sea
All three together

The soft resin of the BRS miniatures takes primer well and overall, whilst not as crisp as AIM models, serve well to bulk out my IJN forces.
