Another detail tour-de-force by Koike with a painting which shows off all the rigging, radiator ribs, bomb racks and other little bits of the Short Type 184, the first aircraft in history to successfully torpedo a ship. While Koike seldom shows "action" in his recent work, the hint of things to come permeate this shot of a 184 on anti-submarine duty.
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).
