This collection covers a wide range of Japanese aircraft, from World War II aircraft such as the Shusui/H8K2 Type 2 Flying Boat Model 12/J1N1 Type 13 Land Fighter (later known as the Gekko Night Fighter) to post-war and modern aircraft such as the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force's V-44 transport helicopter, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force's P2V-7 Neptune anti-submarine patrol aircraft/US-1A rescue seaplane/S2F-1 Tracker anti-submarine patrol aircraft/HSS-2B patrol helicopter/S-61A rescue helicopter/UH-60J rescue helicopter/SH-60B Seahawk patrol helicopter/MCH-101 minesweeper transport helicopter, the Japan Coast Guard's S-62 rescue helicopter, the Tokyo Fire Department's AS-332 firefighting helicopter, and the National Institute of Polar Research's PC-6 Turbo Porter.
All of the featured works are 1/72 scale models with detailed engines, flaps, and other components, and are introduced in detail with numerous close-up photographs.
This book will inspire the building spirit of all aircraft modelers, not just those who build Japanese aircraft.
