Mitsubishi J2M Raiden (Jack) (Yellow Series)

The book is more suited to an artist or advanced model maker. There really isn't much text to interest a reader who isn't sold on the photographs and drawings.

I am a fan of many Osprey and Squadron/Signal publications. This book is of a different ilk. The illustrations are superb, but there is no operational history of the fighter, no recollections or logbook entries by former pilots, nor records of encounters by P-51 or B-29 crews, and only sparse references to squadron and theater deployments. The technical details would be hugely useful to a modeler, but that was not what I was expecting to get.

Well pleased

Item delivered on time, was as described

A must have for modelers. Great reference photos of the Jack.

The product is a pdf like file without any feature. It don't take advantage of the Kindle, no zoom for picture.The regular book is a better choice

A great reference book if you're planning on building the model kit. The illustrated color plates were very good.

This book is one of Mushroom Model Publications' Yellow Series (it is 6110). It is a square bound, 6-1/2" x 9-1/2", square bound, 80 page card cover.The book is divided into three sections. The first is the development history text supported by numerous black and white photos, line drawings, tables, and, interestingly, a two page, American Intelligence identification card for the "Jack 11". This section comprises the first 27 pages.The second section comprises detailed photographs and technical manual drawings. Some of the photos are period photos but many are of the only surviving example. These are in full color. The survivor's location is not identified; it is at the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino, CA. This section runs from page 28 to page 62 and includes a brief bibliography.The last section has the color profiles. There are 18 pages of these. They're fairly monotonous because the color scheme varied hardly at all during the aircraft's career; the main variation are unit codes.This book is fairly hard to find these days but if you can find a copy at a reasonable price I can recommend it.

Great book fantastic service

Wer frühere Büchlein kennt bekommt auch hier eine schönen historischen und Versionsabriß. Zeitgenössische und Bilder von Museumsmaschinen machen diesen Band erneut zu einem schönen Handbuch für den Interessierten und Modellbauer. Für mich erneut eine gelungene Zusammenstellung von textlicher Information und Bildmaterial.

Very serious seller and quick service. A little issue, the cover book was slightly warped.In any case in the future I'll agian purchase from this seller

Une lecture Kindle très décevante non pas par le contenu mais le contenant.Étant illustrateur 3D, j'étais ravi de voir des plans techniques et des profils 4 vues de cet avion mais le format scanné est trop petit pour distinguer quelque chose et les profils ne sont pas utilisables et encore moins récupérables. Un achat pour rien.Dorénavant je n’achèterai que des livres papiers.
