I haven’t seen many in progress builds of this kit, so this thread will serve to highlight construction of Trumpeter’s 1/48 Whale. This will be the A3D-2 in the markings of VAH-11. Ive been collecting aftermarket and reference materials for quite
some time leading up to this build. Feel free to follow along and offer any tidbits of information or feedback along the way. So, let’s get started!
Aftermarket being used:
Furball Decals sheet 48022
Furball Canopy and wheel masks
