Japanese D3A Val Dive Bomber Free 3D print model

1/900th scale D3A Val Dive Bomber model. Certain elements not to scale.

The D3A Val dive bomber was the primary carrier borne dive bomber used by the Japanese navy during the war. It participated in most of the Japanese naval actions. 1495 were built. They are credited to have sunk a total of fifteen ships, including one British aircraft carrier. They sunk more allied ships than any other axis aircraft.

This model is designed and tested at 1/900th scale, but up-scaling and down-scaling are possible. Since the model is optimized for 1/900th scale, it is not ideal to print larger versions due to a lack of detail. The model has been enlarged along the z axis to allow for better printing and accentuation of detail. The model has also been given thicker elements for strength. The wingspan and overall length are to scale.

Available are both individual and squadron files. You can find the stand at https://www.cgtrader.com/free-3d-print-models/miniatures/vehicles/stand-for-miniature-aircraft.
