ZKMB34427 Zoukei-Mura Concept Note 13 - Kawasaki Ki-100

Full color; 96 pages; Japanese & English

This book provides a multifaceted examination of the Ki-100, or Type 5 Fighter, a former Japanese Army aircraft that saw combat at the end of World War II and was a rare example of a successful conversion from a liquid-cooled engine to an air-cooled engine, using both the actual aircraft and SWS kit.

This book thoroughly explains how in-depth research based on actual aircraft, including visits to the RAF Museum in Cosford, England, was reflected in the development of SWS kit. You can enjoy building the kit by comparing the internal structure, which is usually difficult to examine, with Parts of the actual aircraft.

Furthermore, it includes an "informative assembly explanation" by SWS Meister Naoki Kobayashi, which, along with delicate yet solid crafting techniques, deepens your understanding of the assembly process and provides thorough support for assembling the kit from start to finish.

In addition, at the strong request of Mr. Hideyuki Shigeta, the development chief of ZOUKEI-MURA-Mura SWS, who said, "Japanese aircraft should definitely be modeled by Japanese modelers" and "I would like to see more photos included," many excellent examples of models made by domestic modelers are also featured. This essential book combines both informational value and aesthetic appeal, making it a must-have companion for SWS kit!
