German Fighter Messerschmitt Bf109E-4 Tropical Airfix 1/48

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.

German Medium Tank Panter A Late Model Meng Model 1/35

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.

Kawasaki Ki45Kai Type-Tei Toryu (Nick) Japanese Army Two-Seat Fighter Hasegawa 1/48

After a long time, I'm trying to build an Imperial Japanese Army plane. It's a Hasegawa Toryu. The upper part of the fuselage is equipped with an upward gun. It's a twin engine, so I wonder whether it will be quite big when finished. The box is not that big.

German 8-Wheel Armored Vehicle Sd.Kfz.234/3 7.5 cm Stummel Dragon 1/35

It's rare to make a Dragon kit these days. Is Dragon's AFV still in distribution now? I think the price has gone up a lot. This time, I'm trying to make a German Army eight-wheeled armored vehicle.

German Tank Hunters Dragon 1/35

It is a German anti-tank soldier of different variations. Now, drones can attack remotely, but until a while ago, they had to be very close to each other to be able to destroy AFVs.
