Kagero has started a new series known as “References for Modelers”. This issue is devoted to the Nakajima Ki-43 I/II.

The booklet discloses that a lot of the material published in it, has already been published before in other publications of the same editorial. In my humble opinion, that is not an issue, as sometimes the modeler only needs a few references, and this book provides them all.

The references include several period pictures (black and white), some of which are of captured aircraft. Some of the pictures are similar to a “walk-around” type of image, as they show details of the engine, landing gear, air scoops, etc.

There is a handful of color profiles (and 4-view in some cases) for aircraft in Japanese Army service.
