Summary
This is a beautiful magazine with photos of equally beautiful models. The language is a barrier, but the photos are clear enough to get a good understanding of the kits but not how the builder actually did so. The quality of the modeling is absolutely top-notch.
Thanks to ModelArt Magazine and IPMS/USA for the review item.
