[C-8] 1/72 Suisei D4Y3 Judy

Experience the sleek lines of the Imperial Japanese Navy's Yokosuka D4Y3 Suisei "Judy" with this 1/72 scale model kit from Fujimi. This kit, designated C-8, accurately represents the radial-engined variant of the "Comet" dive bomber, a formidable replacement for the earlier D3A "Val".

This detailed plastic model kit features fine engraved panel lines throughout, ensuring a crisp and realistic finish. Builders will appreciate the absence of flash, visible ejector pin marks, or sink marks on the parts. The D4Y3 was powered by a 1,500 hp Mitsubishi Kinsei 62 14-cylinder radial engine, a significant departure from the earlier in-line versions, yet maintaining comparable performance.

Modelers have the option to build their "Judy" with underwing drop tanks or bombs, adding to the display possibilities. The kit also allows for assembly with landing gear in either the extended or retracted position, though a display stand for the gear-up option is not included. The clear canopy parts are crisply molded and thin, providing excellent visibility into the cockpit.
