The prototype's maiden flight took place in 1940, and D4Y aircraft entered service in 1942. They were primarily used by the Imperial Japanese Navy during the most important battles of the final phase of the Pacific War—including the Battle of the Philippine Sea and Leyte. They were famous for their excellent speed and superb aerodynamic properties, highly valued by pilots, but due to their lightweight construction, they were vulnerable to destruction in combat.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe D4Y1\/1C Suisei 11 version was powered by an inline engine, used for dive bombing raids against Allied ships and as a reconnaissance carrier-based aircraft. The model presented by AZ Model perfectly reflects the key construction details of this version—including the characteristic glazed cockpits and the varied armament and reconnaissance equipment details.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/b\u003e AZ Model (known for precise and well-developed 1\/72 scale aircraft models)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOriginal user's country:\u003c\/b\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHistorical period:\u003c\/b\u003e World War II (1942–1945)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBuild difficulty:\u003c\/b\u003e 3\/5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWe recommend the Kugisho D4Y1\/1C Judy Suisei 11 (1\/72) model\u003c\/strong\u003e both to experienced modelers and intermediate aviation modeling enthusiasts looking to recreate less typical Japanese carrier-based aircraft from World War II.
