How does one find a planebucket drawing? Many aren't named when they're posted, and some don't work with the site search (eg F-18).
Probably posting from and iPhone and naval terms befuddle it. If I say a ships' hill, you know what I meant.

The hard way unfortunately.
“Close” only counts with horseshoes, hand grenades, and tactical nuclear weapons.

Since Rhade has been updating some of the older IJN aircraft, I figured I'd do the Aichi D3A "Val" divebomber. I also believe this to be the first IJN aircraft topveiw.

Looks nice to me. Any plans on doing a version like the US WW2 drawings where you can interchange the tail markings to suit the different carriers which they were based? Not really a requirement but could be useful.

I'd love to, if someone could provide a reference, I'll do them this weekend.

Looking nice so far. Putting them like that makes it easy to see how the planes were identified for their particular carrier. Late war I know the few carriers that still had airwings had hybrid airwings from whatever planes were found, some not being repainted and retaining their old markings.
