If you enjoy never before seen pre-production art , pick up the new book ART OF BATTLE – Koichi Ohata Robot Chronicle

https://japanese-creative-books.com/product/illustration/art-of-battle-koichi-ohata-robot-chronicle/

10 pages full of good stuff. I think at least 90% I've never seen before.
And if you like Galvion art, there is stuff in here too which isn't even in that Galvion book released a while ago. 
Go buy this-its cheap and very cool

I had been sitting on buying this book, but thanks to samples of photos you posted, I have it coming in today or tomorrow. I'm excited to get this.

Lots of new kits to feature 

[jvmacross]

another 'model kit' book....kind of a stretch to call it an art book, unless it will also include the lineart drawings and illustrations....

Nice...so more diorama style pics, than the usual boring static poses....

Hello, how are you?

Question if someone knows how to answer me 

I didn't know this illustration by Makoto Kobayashi. 

Do you know which magazine or artbook it belongs to?

It looks like it came out of one of these because in the photo you can clearly see that it was cut irregularly. 

The image was taken from Yahoo Auctions.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

As far as I know, Makoto Kobayashi's only involvement with Macross was supporting development of Arii's plamodel line.

Given the rough print quality, I'd assume it's from one of his self-published works.

I was unaware of this information

I didn't know that he self-published his works. 

It is very possible that this is the case

Thank you very much
