This is the fourth and final volume in the series of collections of Shigeo Koike's beautiful aviation paintings (sadly, volumes 1 to 3 are no longer available).
This keepsake book is filled with 60 of Koike's late-career aircraft paintings, renowned for their nearly photographic accuracy while still maintaining an artistic approach, including paintings featured in Subaru's (previously Fuji Heavy Industries) calendar "World Famous Airplanes" (from the year 2009 and on), as well as several previously unpublished paintings! If you're an aviation fan, a model-kit collector and builder, an aficionado of aircraft history, or just someone who appreciates a beautiful painting, you'll want to add this portfolio to your library!
