Aichi D3A 'Val' - part 2

Completed 'Val', marked as serving aboard Shokaku.
Another view of the same 'Val'.
The silver 'Val', together with the second (front) and a third I built some years ago.  I think this may be another F-Toys model, but the newer ones are a bit nicer.
'Val' overflying it's mother ship, the Kaga.

Nice trio Tim, can we expect to see some Japanese Naval battles in the future?

I don't know about actual naval battles (my toy boats are 1/6000 scale) but my 20mm Jap Special Naval Landing Forces aren't going to be short of air cover!

I love the perspective trick you employed in your last photo.

It's the (much) cheaper equivalent of photographing a real 'plane 12metres above a 1/42 scale model carrier.
