D3A1 Aichi 1540mm (60.6") Wingspan - ARF from Nexa - NXA1059-001

The Imperial Japanese Navy's Aichi D3A Type 99 Carrier Bomber, commonly referred to as the "Val" by Allied forces, was an invaluable tool in World War II. Responsible for over a fifth of Allied vessel losses, it made its mark when it bombed Pearl Harbor and other U.S. bases in the Philippines such as Clark Air Force Base. Known for its superior dive-bombing accuracy, it remained a formidable force despite its obsolescence at the beginning of the war.

The Nexa D3A1 Aichi is a electric or gas option .46-size aerobatic airplane with a 1540mm wingspan, constructed primarily from balsa wood and covered with a fuel-resistant covering. This ARF requires assembly and installation of your choice of servos and power system. This model includes a fiberglass cowl, painted pilot, plastic machine gun and other scale details. The large battery hatch affords ample room for either electric or gas setups. Impress at your flying field with this iconic World War II axis warbird!
