Description
Experience the sleek lines and historical significance of the Imperial Japanese Navy's Yokosuka D4Y "Suisei," known to Allied forces as "Judy," with this 1/72 scale model kit from Fujimi. This kit, designated C-16, allows you to recreate the D4Y1-C reconnaissance variant, an early operational version of this high-speed carrier-based aircraft.
The Yokosuka D4Y was developed to replace the Aichi D3A dive bomber, emphasizing speed to outmaneuver enemy interceptors. While initially conceived as a dive bomber, the D4Y saw service in various roles, including reconnaissance, night fighter, and even special attack (kamikaze) missions during World War II. The D4Y1-C reconnaissance aircraft made its combat debut in mid-1942, with two pre-production models participating in the Battle of Midway.
This Fujimi kit, though an older release, is noted for its crisp detail and recessed panel lines, providing a solid foundation for an engaging build. Modelers will appreciate the generally good fit of parts, allowing for a satisfying assembly experience.
Included in this kit:
- Highly detailed plastic parts for one Yokosuka D4Y1-C aircraft
- Decals for authentic markings
Specifications:
- Scale: 1/72
- Material: Injected Plastic
