Page Count: 96 colour pages

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 the actual aircraft, including visits to the RAF Museum in Cosford, England, was reflected in the development of the 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 SWS, who said, "Japanese aircraft should definitely be modelled by Japanese modellers" and "I would like to see more photos included," many excellent examples of models made by Japanese modellers are also featured.

This essential book combines both informational value and aesthetic appeal, making it a must-have companion for the SWS kit!
