Soviet Tank Crew Alpine 1/35

Russian tank soldier of Alpine. Even with 1/35, the mold is extremely excellent, so it is easy to apply and separate. The details are still difficult. I don't want to compare the pictures of the paint samples because they are too good, it is difficult to decide the reference colors without them.

Light Cruiser Tenryu 1942 Imperial Japanese Navy Hasegawa 1/700

Hasegawa Tenryu has a reputation for being easy to assemble. I added a handrail for the etched part and I tried to make an antenna. The area of the linoleum deck is quite large. It is a light cruiser that is good at night battle equipped with many torpedo tubes.

M2A2 ODS Bradley U.S. Army Infantry Fighting Vehicle Tamiya 1/35

It's Tamiya's M2A2 ODS Bradley infantry fighting vehicle. I didn't want to wear a belt type of track, but this vehicle has a lot of hidden parts, so I think I don't have to be so concerned about it.

Zero Fighter A6M5 Model52 Imperial Japanese Navy Tamiya 1/48

I think it's Tamiya's new Zero fighter. I was surprised that there were 4 pilot figures standing. This paint might be stronger. Maybe this paint is more enthusiastic. This time, I built the Zero in the Battle of the Philippine Sea, June 19, 1944. Carrier Junyo, Lead ship of Carrier Div. 2, 652nd Fighter Group.

Tortoise A39 British Heavy Assault Tank Meng Model 1/35

It is a Tortoise heavy assault tank of MENG. It took a long time to assemble the footwear of the chassis like a heavy tank. It was the end of the war and they had no chance to play an active role before they were sent to the front. I heard that only 6 were produced.

20mm Flakvierling Sd.Kfz7/1 German 8 ton Half-Track Tamiya 1/35

It is Tamiya's 8-ton half-track 20 mm 4-barreled anti-aircraft gun. It comes with a lot of winter figurines, so I wonder if there are many people who have winter camouflage in their vehicles. When I changed the face of the figure to resin, it became easier to paint.

This is Tamiya's Pink Panther. a vehicle used by the British Special Air Service. British Command Force S.A.S. specification. The pink color blends into the desert unexpectedly, which seems to have a camouflage effect.

M923A1 Big Foot U.S. Army Military Truck Italeri 1/35

The Italeri military truck M923A1 is built. This time, the modern track seems to have a lot of volumes. I changed tires and packed a lot of things like drums, miscellaneous bags, and a combat ration.

F-14A Black Tomcat U.S. Navy Carrier-Based Fighter Revell 1/144

I think Revell's newer 1/144 F-14A kit is very good. Although it is a mini scale, it is very delicate and the decal is also fine. This is "Vandy One", Air Test and Evaluation Squadron VX-4, NAS Pt Mugu, California, USA, 1991.

Dassault Mirage IIIc French Air Force Fighter Eduard 1/48

I built Eduard Mirage IIIc. The marking is the 10th Airwing 2nd Fighter Squadron "Seine" in April 1976, it's the beautiful red line accent on the metal plates. In this kit, the mold of the parts is sharp and the rear end of the main wing is quite thin and well made. I was surprised to see a standing pilot figure.

It is a Hasegawa F-86F saver. This kit is a fighter plane of the Taiwan Air Force. The Republic of China (Taiwan) has been operating more than 320 F-86Fs from the United States since 1955. At that time, Taiwan, the Philippines, South Korea, Japan, and many other countries were receiving military assistance from the United States to protect them from the threat of communism.

Lavochkin La-7 Soviet Fighter Academy 1/48

It's Lavochkin La-7 Soviet Fighter, Academy's kit. Marking is the ace pilot of the 156 fighter regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Sergei F. Dolgushin No.93. The manual has a 165 fighter regiment, but probably it's a misprint. The color of the aircraft is quite plain. The tail marking serves as an accent.

M4A2 Sherman USMC Medium Tank Dragon 1/35

It seems to be said that the shape of the Dragon Sherman Tank is not very accurate. Or rather, each manufacturer except Tasca was not so good. I want to make Tasca of stock as soon as possible, but I thought it would be pitiful if the Dragon was not completed. It looks gorgeous with multi-material.
