Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf J German Medium Tank Dragon 1/35

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.

This set of Type-90 tanks and mine roller is a kit with a volume. The marking is Hokkaido 7th Division 71th Tank Regiment 5th Company. I think the paint of the roller has quite a nice texture.

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.

This is the building note of the Tamiya Republic P-47M Thunderbolt. I am quite a beginner, but I managed to complete the plastic model of the airplane. It's hard to mask planes.

KV-1 model 1941 Soviet Heavy Tank Trumpeter 1/35

I built a trumpeter, KV-1. It is released at a low price and there are few parts for a model tank, so I think it is relatively easy for beginners to assemble. In this case, I tried applying heavy mud on the roller and the track.

Centurion Mk5/1 Vietnam War Australian Army AFV Club 1/35

It is the building of the Centurion tank of the AFV Club. Company C of the 1st Armored Regiment of the Australian Army in 1971. I think that the shield canvas made of tissue paper and putty somehow showed the feeling of cloth, but it was difficult.

This Dragon Abrams Tank was made for the first time since I opened my website. There were some parts that didn't work well such as washing and dry brush. Plastic models of tanks have many parts.
