1-300 CV Shokaku 5th Div Air Wing: Zeros, Vals, Kates Decals

CV Shokaku 5th Carrier Division Air Wing – Zeros, Vals & Kates
Recreate the early-war air group of the Imperial Japanese Navy carrier Shokaku, a member of Carrier Division 5 alongside Zuikaku. Shokaku’s air group operated the Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter, Aichi D3A “Val” dive bomber, and Nakajima B5N “Kate” torpedo/level bomber.
Historical Context
Shokaku participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and later fought at the Battle of the Coral Sea in May 1942. Damage suffered there kept Shokaku out of the Battle of Midway, while the carrier later returned to major combat operations in the Solomons and Central Pacific.
