This is a special issue from Model Art Magazine that deals specifically with the JASDF (Japanese Air Self-Defense Force). The magazine is broken in to three sections. It is printed in Japanese with some English subtitles.

The first section shows off some wonderfully built models and several aircraft walkarounds of the JASDF. Model Art really did a great job covering this area. They dedicated ninety pages of this issue to this section.

The next area that is covered is the aircraft and weaponry of the JASDF. Again, Model Art really did a wonderful job here. Each subject is represented with one color photograph and a small description in Japanese text.

The last section deals with models, decals, and aftermarket parts that are available representing the JASDF. Model Art dedicated fourteen pages to this. It is truly amazing the amount of material that is out there for the modeler.

If you are a fan of the JASDF, I highly recommend this magazine to you. I understand that you may not read Japanese, but there is a wealth of reference packed in this issue.

I would like to thank Model Art Magazine and IPMS/USA for allowing me to review this product.
