A fantastic 2010 calendar full of the beautiful aviation art of master painter Shigeo Koike (a very familiar name to modelers thanks to his work with Hasegawa)! This large-format calender measures 59.5cm (23.5 inches) tall by 42cm (16.5 inches) wide, with each image measuring 31cm (12.2 inches) tall by 40cm (15.7 inches) wide...very suitable for framing. Featuring seven stunning and all-original paintings (one cover painting with six paintings inside), the lineup of aircraft includes:
- Japanese Nakajima G8N Renzan/"Rita" (Cover)
- French Hanriot HD.1 Fighter (January-February)
- Russian Polikarpov Po2/U2 (S13) Trainer (March-April)
- Japanese Kawasaki Ki-45 Toryu/"Nick" Two-Seat Fighter Prototype (May-June)
- German Dornier Do-J IIb Wal Postal Flying Boat (July-August)
- British Bristol Blenheim Mk IV Light Bomber (September-October)
- American Boeing P-26A Peashooter Fighter (November-December).
Titles for each painting are in Japanese and English, with detailed descriptions of each type in Japanese only. But it's the paintings themselves that do the real talking! Absolutely stunning art.
As a very special added bonus, each calendar is signed by the artist, Shigeo Koike himself! Quantities are limited, so don't miss out on this great opportunity to add this fantastic calendar of aviation art to your collection.
