Offered by Over The Blue Horizon and obtained in Tokyo is an increasingly difficult-to-obtain publication: “DRAWINGS OF IMPERIAL JAPANESE NAVAL VESSELS, BATTLESHIPS, DESTROYERS AND RELATED VESSELS”.  

Published in 1989 by the well-regarded MODEL ART Publishing firm as Volume 340 and long-out-of-print, this 108-page, 7.25 x 10.25 inch softcover provides 1/700 scale line profiles (and in the case of the major vessels, overhead profiles as well) of IJN vessels.  Covered in this volume are IJN Battleships; Destroyers; Patrol Vessels; Torpedo Boats; Escorts; Submarine Chasers; and Minesweepers.  In addition to the line drawings, information is presented for each vessel or class of vessels.  Text is in Japanese but the level of specificity is outstanding and will undoubtedly prove useful to the IJN historian and advanced military modeler.

Condition of this out-of-print publication is VERY GOOD with light shelf wear to the covers – tight, bright, and exceptionally clean -- even the corners are crisp!
