QUESTION: Photos-Color Profiles of D3A Vals in Indo-China....pre-Pearl Harbor????


Recommended Posts

I would like to do my 1/48 D3A Val in markings OTHER than Pearl Harbor-Midway era ......Which seems to dominate ALL 1/48 kits [and 1/72] of this airframe.

Are there any decals or color profiles of early Vals in Indo-China which I know were employed before 1941??

 

Thanks

Steve,

Here are some profiles (bearing in mind all the usual caveats regarding profiles with no photographic back-up...)

The first, second and fourth aircraft in this picture are all pre-Dec 1941 birds:

The top one in this picture is also China-based:
