RARE OOP MISB Pit-Road 1/350 IJN WW2 D4Y2 SUISEI Attack Bomber Type 12

The Yokosuka D4Y Suisei (彗星, comet) (Allied reporting name "Judy") is a two-seat carrier-based dive bomber. It was developed by the Yokosuka Naval Air Technical Arsenal and operated by the Imperial Japanese Navy from 1942 to 1945 during World War II. Development of the aircraft began in 1938. The first D4Y1 was complete in November 1940 and made its maiden flight at Yokosuka the following month.

While the aircraft was originally conceived as a dive bomber, the D4Y was used in other roles including reconnaissance, night fighter and special attack. It made its combat debut as a reconnaissance aircraft when two pre-production D4Y1-Cs embarked aboard the Sōryū to take part in the Battle of Midway in 1942. It was not until March 1943 that it was accepted for use as a dive bomber.
