Pacific Profiles Volume 1

"...the artwork looks great, and it appears Claringbould has done his homework." ~Stone & Stone Second World War Books

‘’Another excellent little book from author Michael Claringbould. Some lovely artwork accompanying the rest of this useful reference, good for aviation historians and just perfect for the aircraft modeller who likes Pacific War subjects. Excellent.’’ ~Military Model Scene

"...a book modelers and students of the JAAF over New Guinea and the Solomons have been waiting for for quite some time. Avonmore Books and Mr. Claringbould present modern research and newly obtained original sources to explain the history of interpreting JAAF colors and markings. Valuable photographs including color photographs, and original artwork, enhance the deeply researched text." ~Aeroscale

‘’This is a detailed and highly researched book with colour profiles for 82 different aircraft, rendered in RGB via 3D models converted to CMYK for printing. ...it produces some wonderful colour pictures of the aircraft in profile side on useful for modellers and wargamers alike. This is a colourful book which displays the considerable research and interpretation which must have been put into it. It is highly recommended for the modeller and the air wargamer but would also reward the general reader with an interest in these campaigns.’’ ~Miniature Wargames

"Extensive discussions about colors and markings, including special markings, or the absence of markings, explain the camouflage schemes. While the 58 black and white photos and 10 color photos provide the source, the 85 color profiles provide the modeler or miniature painter with the details and inspiration." ~Historical Miniatures Gaming Society

"... a book that will definitely be used over and over again for reference." ~ModelingMadness.Com

"…this artwork-focused book ticks many boxes for those interested in the colours and markings of Japanese aircraft." ~Flypast
