		Yokosuka D4Y or Judy was the fastest and the most beautiful single-engine dive bomber of WWII.
		The enthusiasm of the Japanese naval leaders for the plane was not seriously dampened even after DXHe-1 disintegrated in the air: the aircraft was very compact, very fast, had perfect aerodynamics and excellent handling characteristics.
		However, since the machine was much faster than all existing naval reconnaissance planes it was decided to convert the initial production batch: bomb attachment gear was removed and photo reconnaissance equipment installed instead.

		Perhaps the greatest was the careerism and interservice political activity of many naval officers, which hamstrung coordination and cooperation in operations and lowered the morale and motivation of naval personnel.

		The order for the development of a strike aircraft comparable to the latest American “North American B-25 «Mitchell»” and “Martin B-26 «Marauder»” bombers and equipped with the same Nakajima «Homare» engine as B7A, was given to the 1-st Naval Technical Aviation Arsenal in Yokosuka at the end of 1940.
		The Japanese Fleet was obliged to officially put the “Naval «Ginga» Bomber Model 11” (P1Y1) into its inventory in October 1944 when 453 of the aircraft were already manufactured.
		Thus, the overwhelming air superiority, that the American naval aviation enjoyed by 1944 was won not only by superior numbers of better aircraft but primarily by superior skills of American aircrews.

		For example, the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal, created from an old Bakufu ironworks, "produced mining and other machinery as well as repaired twice as many foreign and privately-owned Japanese ships as navy ships." However, heavy industrial capacity remained very limited in most areas until well after the end of the Meiji Era.

		Camouflage schemes saw some use on units assigned to the Aleutians, on seaplane tenders, armed merchant cruisers and merchant ships, and in the late war years on some cruisers and aircraft carriers.
		Of primary interest to modelers of the IJN is the fact that the four principal navy yards – Kure, Sasebo, Maizuru, and Yokosuka – utilized gray paints that differed somewhat in shade.
		Thus the modeler desiring greatest accuracy must conduct enough research to know which yard a given ship was assigned to or refitted and repaired.

		These ships are mainly naval ships, which usually have large propellors, sometimes combined with a slim stern (like Bismarck (I just had to mention my favourite ship)).
		Damage to the propellors is VERY costly, as the ship needs to be docked, the propellor and the propellor axis removed, (Sometimes also the rudder needs to be removed), propellor replaced, all parts need to be reinserted, and the propelloraxis should be realligned.
		The set includes 4 grays: Sasebo Naval Arsenal, Kure Naval Arsenal, Maizuru Naval Arsenal, Yokosuka Naval Arsenal; 2 greens: dark green "Type 1 camouflage for aircraft carriers", light green "Type 2 camouflage for aircraft carriers"; deck tan (actually a tan paint used in camo patterns on carrier flight decks); and linoleum color.
