Fujimi 1/72 Aichi D3A1 'Val'


Recommended Posts

Fujimi's 1/72 Aichi D3A1 'Val'. Nice kit but basic interior. Looks like my masking for the red landing gear stripes wasn't as straight as I thought! Other than that I'm quite happy with it and I've got the D3Y2 to build as well. Painted with AK Interactive IJN Acrylics. I think this might be from Akagi, judging by the tail codes but I could be wrong!

 

thanks

Mike

That's very nice indeed.

 

So is the main colour AK2062 J3 SP (Amber Grey)?

 

It looks better than the Tamiya XF-76 which I was planning to use on my Airfix Zero, which seems a bit too light and green. Could be my monitor, of course..

Yes, that's the one. I believe Nick Millman had some input on these paints, so I would expect them to be fairly accurate.

 

thanks

That's a very nice build, I have an Airfix Val nerly ready for paint and if it turns out half as good as yours, I shall be well pleased.
