The latest issue of Model Art's publication Vessel Model Special will cover the Imperial Japanese Navy battlesship Ise and her sister ship, Hyuga. Both ships had been converted into hybrid battleship/aircraft carriers that actually ended up limiting their ability as fighting ships.

Model Art Books are published in Japan and feature popular and current topics in plastic model kit building. The line includes several different series and individual titles come with reference photographs, illustrations, diagrams and drawings.

Dragon Models USA plans to have this issue available for sale later this month on their website as item MODKS053 for $28.99 (US) plus shipping.
