KV-2 German Captured Type Soviet Heavy Tank Trumpeter 1/35

KV-2 Tank Gigant, Trumpeter kit. I painted it with an elephant-like camouflage on the assumption that it was captured by the German army. This kind of flat and large surface with the epoxy putty Zimmerit Coating is fun.

SU-100 Soviet Tank Destroyer Dragon 1/35

Dragon SU-100 Soviet Destroyer Tank. It is a premium edition and contains a lot of finely etched parts. There are also big works such as hollowing out the vehicle body. For that reason, I think the finish is good because of the high precision.

Steyr Type 1500A/01 German Military Vehicle Tamiya 1/35

Tamiya's Steyr German military vehicle was made. At that time, I wanted to scratch-build a military figure with epoxy putty and wire, so I tried various things. It was rough work, but I enjoyed the process.

It is a Focke-Wolf Fw190A-3 of Hasegawa. Even though I'm still an amateur, I tried riveting the surface. How reckless. It's poor work, but I also try various things, such as a figure.

Sd.Kfz.234/2 Puma German Armored Car Dragon 1/35

It's Puma, a Cyber-Hobby, an 8-wheeled armored car. It was difficult to paint with an airbrush with 3 colors of camouflage. Marking is the 20th armor division in Bohemia in 1945 which is one of the examples of this instruction manual. The star antenna is cool as a reconnaissance unit.

B1bis French Heavy Tank Tamiya 1/35

I enjoy making Tamiya's B1bis. The assembling of the track is especially interesting. I decided on this tank Marking "Bourrasque" tank number 257, 2nd Section, 1st Company, 15th Combat Tank Battalion, 2nd Armored Division in France 1940.

BT-5 Soviet Light Tank Zvezda 1/35

It was very difficult to make the BT-5 of Zvezda. This is one of the reasons why I have been away from Eastern Europe kits for a while. Regardless of the result, I had a sense of accomplishment when it was completed with effort.

This Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf J is a Dragon Smart Kit series, so the number of parts is rather small. It was easy to make. The marking is the 18th Armored Division in 1942. It was a tank that played an active role in the Eastern Front.

Canadair Sabre MK.5 F-86 Royal Canadian Air Force Hasegawa 1/48

Can I call it a Canadian F-86? The marking is Canadian Air force 416th Air squadron at Carte Blanche in June 1955. This tactical exercise was operated by NATO in Europe, 3,000 aircraft were on campaign. The decal was not printed correctly and there were some problems, but it was finished.

It's a Dragon's Soviet T-34/85 tank. At the end of World War II, the tank was equipped with wire netting around the sides and the top of the tank to avoid the German Panzer Faust. I used winter camouflage this time.

Lockheed F-104C Starfighter U.S. Air Force Hasegawa 1/48

I built the Hasegawa F-104C Starfighter. On the way, the color of the main wing was wrong, and scratches were noticeable with silver paint. It is 1/48 scale and has volume and a unique shape. I enjoyed it.

Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf D German Medium Tank Tristar 1/35

It's Tristar Panzerkampfwagen IV. Come to think of it, there was a lot of controversy about the fender mold. This IV tank type D is a very good kit even though the parts are small. I'm still not used to assembling connected tracks, so I often make mistakes.
