Realization of all genus 2 reduction types over the rationals

Let CC be a genus 22 curve defined over Q\mathbb{Q}, and consider the 54 reduction types in the genus 22 classification.

Realization conjecture. All 54 reduction types of the genus 22 classification are realised over Q\mathbb{Q}.

The classification currently has 53 of its 54 cases realised by genus 22 curves over Q\mathbb{Q} of conductor at most 2202^{20}; the missing case is (D21). The conjecture predicts that a curve of type (D21) exists over Q\mathbb{Q}, presumably with larger conductor.
