My Hellcats need targets. Val sounds good to me.
I've become more interested in these since, I hate to admit it, the Dogfights series showed them going down in flames.  |
The US Navy took a serious pounding off of Guadalcanal; 2 aircraft carriers, 8 cruisers, 14 destroyers, 2 minesweepers, a troop transport, and 11 merchant ships joined Japanese capital and merchant vessels on the ocean floor of 'Ironbottom Sound'. The majority of these were sunk by Vals and Kates. I think a Val would be an important diecast aircraft for the serious WW2 history 'buff' in the Pacific theatre of combat.
