Finemolds 1/48 Yokosuka D4Y1 Suisei (Judy) Type 11/12 Carrier bomber

Fine Molds has revamped their earlier Judy release by cleaning up the tooling and replacing the white metal parts with very well-tooled injection plastic ones. The best change of all is the new price! Just 2800 for a fine offering of this smart-looking late-war Japanese carrier bomber. The fit and tooling crispness of the older parts is not up to Tamiya's state-of-the-art standards, but don't let that deter you. The accuracy of this kit is amazing, and panel lines are, of course, engraved. Includes decals for two different aircraft, as well as plentiful materials on the markings and history of the Judy (all in Japanese, though).
