Tiger-I Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf.E Early Type Italeri 1/35

It is an Italeri kit Tiger I. It is quite difficult to express such slight drooping in a partially connected track. I had a hard time fixing the gun barrel. German gray Tiger-I goes well with early models.

German Gebirgsjager Mountain Troops Caucasus 1942 Dragon 1/35

It is a Dragon figure of the old days, so it has a good physique. The head has been replaced with resin for a sharp impression. It can be decorated on a wooden cube to create a luxurious feel. Mountaineering soldiers seem hard because they have a lot of luggage.

BMP-1 Russian Infantry Fighting Vehicle Trumpeter 1/35

The Russian infantry fighting vehicle BMP-1. Trumpeter kit. I wonder if these are rather plain and not very popular. I wrote "Soviet Army" and "Russian Army", but is this nationality mark Czech Army? I'm sorry I'm not too familiar with it. Trumpeter kits always have little to say about marking.

Destroyer Nenohi 1933 Imperial Japanese Navy Aoshima 1/700

It is the Aoshima kit of destroyer Nenohi. The gun barrel of the main gun was changed to the brass wire, and even though I was a beginner, I was reckless... But the impression when it is completed with or without a handrail is quite different.

Tomahawk IIb (P-40C) Royal Air Force Fighter Academy 1/48

The Academy's Tomahawk is a British fighter. The fitting of the parts was not bad. The number of parts was small and the shape was relatively easy, and the decal of the Cartograf was beautiful and easy to stick. A marking is RAF 112th flying squadron Tomahawk Mk. IIb AK 578 GA-V Neville Duke pilot airplane in January - February 1942 in Egypt.

Type2 Ho-I Imperial Japanese Army Tank Destroyer Finemolds 1/35

It is a Finemolds Type2 Ho-I tank. I used an Imperial Army Type 97 movable track by Vision Models. I bought it again because the current kit has been changed to a partially connected track. The body is bigger than other tanks of the Imperial Army.

Zero Fighter A6M5 Model52 Imperial Japanese Navy Sweet 1/144

I made a Sweet Zero. It is a standard Zero fighter kit. I bought it thinking that there were 2 kits as usual, but in fact, it was clearly written on the package that there was only 1 kit. The decal with letters written in a Japanese flag looks unique.

German Panzergrenadier Italy 1943-45 Dragon 1/35

It is a German Panzergrenadier figure of Dragon. I also tried to use Tamiya's class badge decal. There are many parts because it is the Gen2 series. Including accessories, the mold is sharp and looks good.

P-51D Mustang U.S. Army Air Force Fighter Platz 1/144

I thought Sweet was the only 1/144 scale airplane plastic model with a good mold, but this Platz Mustang is pretty good. It is difficult to mark small airframes in detail. But I think propellers are pretty realistic.

The Dragon German Afrika Korps Infantry set. The heads were changed to resin ones. I'm adding an etched firearm strap. Everyone is in a natural and good pose.

Jagdpanzer IV/70(V) Lang German Tank Destroyer Gunze Creos 1/35

Gunze Creos Lang IV Destroyer Tank 70 (V). This marking is the 116th Armored Division in Ruhr region Germany in 1945. The number might be somewhat different. The predecessor of the 116 division is known as the 16th Motorized Infantry Division "Hound (Windhund) division", advanced to the Astrakhan in the Soviet Union, which is a force that had invaded the most eastward.

Junkers Ju87G-2 Stuka German Anti Tank Attacker Hasegawa 1/48

This is Stuka from Hasegawa. 1/48 is big and powerful when completed. The marking is Luftwaffe Kdr./SG2 (2nd Ground Support Wing). Stuka was slow in speed and the air combat ability is low, so switched over to the Focke-Wulf Fw190. I can see the cockpit well, so I added seatbelts that are sold separately.

German Sturmpionier Kursk 1943 Dragon 1/35

Dragon German Sturmpionier figure set. This kit is quite old. At that time, many dragons had large bodies. The face is painted with oil, and acrylic paint is used after that.

Messerschmitt Bf109K-4 German Fighter Academy 1/48

It is Academy Bf109K-4. It had a gun barrel made of metal. This is the symbol of the red tulip markings of Colonel Hermann Graf, who is the 52nd fighter wing (JG52) commander. I like that it has a Cartograf decal.

WWII Allied Forces Infantry and Tank Crew Master Box 1/35

They are various Allied soldiers of Master Box. There are also Australian soldiers and black soldiers. There is no particular relationship between the figures, so I should have made only the figures I like. Other than British soldiers and American tank soldiers, it is quite rare.
