In a (pleasantly) surprising development, Super Detailing the F-14 Tomcat was not only green-lit for reprint, the reprint is already done! So starting today, pre-orders for the second edition of Super Detailing the F-14 Tomcat are now open!

If you're new to the book, it follows my super-detailing and finishing adventures using Tamiya's F-14D in 1/48 scale, however, the techniques used would readily apply to any modern military aircraft. Full English text thought, and I ship (almost) worldwide.

See purchase link in the comments for sample pages/images, details and to pre-order.

As these publications are not well-known outside Japan, these sub-5 minute videos (aside form this first one) are an opportunity to follow along as I quickly thumb through each title and outline what to expect.

Give it a watch and let me know what you think. Is there important info Ive missed or other details you'd like to see? Or, let me know which book should I review next.

Thanks for watching, and if you like what you see... get yours luftshop.ca!

Japanese scale modelling books are some of the coolest books around, and often some of the hardest to track down.

The Luftshop offers dozens of titles covering aviation, armour and dioramas, naval, sci-fi and figures, and auto and motos. Additional books and magazines are added monthly and shipping to cost countries is available.

While many titles are Japanese language-only, with the refinement of translation tools on phones and tablets, it's never been easier to tap into the vibrant and extensive Japanese modelling culture.
