A compilation of modeling techniques by Shuhei Matsumoto to create Japanese Navy aircraft!
Shuhei Matsumoto, renowned for his famous quotes like 'Kaizou shicha akan' (You must not modify) and 'Kouta yameta ondo' (Buy or No marching song), made a name for himself in the 1980s modeling scene with examples utilizing dry brushing, soldering irons, and more. Currently, he continues to receive enthusiastic support from a broad audience across generations through his serialized work 'Kaizou shicha akan!? Returns' in the aviation scale model magazine 'Scale Aviation' and active engagement on social media.
This book, featuring Japanese Navy aircraft, is derived from 'Kaizou shicha akan!? Returns.' It showcases selected gems of his work, including 1/32 Zero Model 52, Raiden, Shiden Kai, and night-fighting modified Shinden in 1/48 scale. Additionally, it covers the N1K1-J Shiden, Ki-48 Sokei, Ki-96 Sokei, Ginga, and even Renzan, presenting carefully chosen masterpieces.
The construction process is presented with larger photos and extensive commentary, surpassing the content published in Scale Aviation. The layout, extensively restructured with additional photos not featured in the serialization, is a must-see! This essential volume meticulously records how Matsumoto confronts Japanese Navy aircraft and completes a masterpiece.
