IDF Merkava Mk.3D Late LIC Meng Model 1/35

I would like to make the Merkava main tank of the Israeli army from MENG. The box is thick and the number of parts is quite large. I have made Academy and Hobby Boss before, but this is the first time for MENG.

JGSDF M42A1 Duster Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft Gun Early Type AFV Club 1/35

This is the AFV Club Duster self-propelled anti-aircraft gun. I'm going to make this. Compared to Tamiya's kits, the number of parts and precision are quite large, and once completed, it will be an excellent kit.

I'm going to make an Airfix Messerschmitt. It seems to be available now, so it must be selling constantly. It is a tropical type fighter that was active in North Africa.

Italian Heavy Tank P40 Italeri 1/35

I would like to make Italian heavy tank P40. We call it a heavy tank, but compared to German and US tanks, it's probably a medium-tank class. It is sold by Tamiya, but the inside is made by Italeri.

British Army FV510 Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicle Academy 1/35

This time, I'm going to make Warrior, the Academy infantry fighting vehicle. Other companies have released it later, so it may become the mainstream in the future. I think I bought it more than 10 years ago. I moved many times and the box is much rubbed compared to other kits. It looks like we can make vehicles for the Iraq War and the Kosovo War.

JASDF RF-4E Phantom II Hasegawa 1/48

I will try to build the RF-4E Phantom II, a reconnaissance aircraft of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. It was stacked for a long time, and along the way, missile parts were taken away for various kits, and the box was opened and closed several times. I have made several Phantoms in the past, so I have a little experience, but how is it? I think the camouflage pattern of this box painting is cool. The color is slightly different, but it looks like a US Air Force aircraft during the Vietnam War.

I will try to make a MENG Panter tank after a long time. It has been a while since I made the D type before. Type A would look better with zimmerit coating.

Soviet Army Attack Helicopter MIL-Mi24 Hind Zvezda 1/48

For this time, I'm going to make a Russian plastic model Zvezda Hind attack helicopter. This is a kit that I reserved as soon as it was released in 2020. I have had a lot of difficulties with the Eastern Europe kit a long time ago, but this kit is new, so I hope it will be easier to assemble.

USAF Northrop / McDonnell Douglas YF-23 Hobby Boss 1/48

It is a prototype stealth fighter developed for the US Air Force in 1990. It wasn't deployed because it was not selected. At the time of its release, it was talked about as a rather maniac aircraft.

Female Soldier Resin Figures 1/35

These resin figures of female soldiers, in addition to the figures I made before, I had a sudden passion for figures at the end of last year, and even assembled them, but I left them for a long time. If I leave it as it is, it will become a cat toy, so I wanted to finish it well, so I took a brush recently.

US Navy Fighter FJ-4 Fury Hobby Boss 1/48

This time, I will make Hobby Boss FJ-4 Fury. It is the same era as the F-86 Saber, so it has a similar impression. If you look at the wings, they are completely different, but I think the streamlined form is also a cool airplane.
