I'd suggest the Yokusuka D4Y, both with the Atsuta and MK8 Kinsei engines. Not as famous as the D3, but was an excellent dive bomber.

Would love to see it modeled officially. I volunteer at Planes of Fame and they just finished restoring the D4Y of theirs. Unfortunately since there were no plans available they had to use their best guess when it came to fixing/making several things. The plane will be taxiable but it was not restored to flying status due to the limitations from not having any plans and the severity of some of the intergranular corrosion of the longerons.

Here are some build photos on the PoF Facebook page.
