Is there a D3A2 Val somewhere ? I can find many D3A1, but I failed to find the D3A2.
Thanks.

Hello,
it is on Netwings but You have to wait until the Site will be restored on line .
In the other hand You could request on the Community if Someone owns this plane.
Arrivederci

The D3A2 that was @ Netwings is actually a renamed stocker Val if I recall correctly. As far as I know, no authentic D3A2 has come forward although we have been teased with one a few times :engel016:.

You are right! Hago was working in a fine D3A2, but the project disapeared from his page!

Too bad as it was really looking very nice. His D3A1 is still a very useful plane and is one of my favorites from the Japanese arsenal.

I've just read the Wikipedia article on the D3A Val, but apart from a different engine and expanded fuel capacity, was it visually so different from D3A1?.

The spinner and the canopy are different. This what I can recall. There must be other differences.

I was under the impression that Thicko had been given the D3A2 to finish ... but, perhaps I'm wrong ... wouldn't be the first time either!:isadizzy:

Without sounding too obvious, this would be a great project for our master craftsman.

I have another lead on a D3A2 and I'll follow up on that in a day or so.
