Osprey just keeps issuing titles with me in mind! When I learned of the pending release of Ki-44 ‘Tojo’ Aces of World War 2 I was excited as when Hasegawa fulfilled a longtime wish and released their 1/32 Ki-44. This book is absolutely what I hoped for and I trust you will find it as rewarding a read as I do.

You're absolutely right, Fred! I've got my copy today from Osprey and - being a fan of japanese aircraft - I must say after my first look, this is a brilliant book! My scale is 1/48 and I have 3 Shokis waiting for the assembly line in 2012 plus Eagle Strike's "Shokis of the IJAAF Pt. 1". This book will help me to find more details about units, machines and pilots ....

Happy modelling everyone!
