The publication contains comprehensive historical information, examples of vehicle deployment on the battlefield (including Pacific battles – Philippines, Burma, China), and also assigns vehicle models to the period of World War II (1939–1945).

One of the greatest advantages of the book AK549 JAPANESE ARMOR IN WORLD WAR II is the combination of historical material with practical modelling tips.

The authors show how to achieve a realistic appearance of Japanese armor, presenting the step-by-step modelling process from clean assembly to final weathering effects.
