While the historical image of the Defiant has been somewhat soiled by its less-than-stellar performance as a fighter (one could argue that the whole "turret fighter" concept was fatally flawed to begin with), its physical image can only be enhanced by this superb Koike rendition of the plane, revealing remarkably smart lines and a powerful-looking airframe. Of course, looks can be deceiving, in both good and bad ways...
This print is reproduced on heavy art board just like the original, and sized identical to the original, measuring 400mm x 315mm (15.75 x 12.4 inches). It's offset printed, and the color reproduction has been approved by Koike himself. The art board measures 625mm x 453mm (24.6 x 17.83), giving you the freedom to have it framed as you would like. Each print is packed in a special sleeve inside a sturdy cardboard shipping box designed especially to prevent bending during international shipping (NOTE: These prints cannot be combined with other items for shipping, except for additional art prints; they will be shipped separately in their special packaging, even if ordered together with other items).
