FIGURE OTHERS Various military figures, etc. Part 1 1/35
I made a military figure for a change. I've bought quite a few items when the yen was strong.

FIGURE OTHERS 
AIRCRAFT UK RAF Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I Tamiya 1/48
This kit, the Tamiya Spitfire, was piled without even opening the box, hoping to make one day. I remember I kept trying to build from a small scale for practice because I also have a 1/32 Spitfire. I've built other manufacturers' and tropical versions of Tamiya, but this Mk.I is probably the most basic aircraft. It was said to have taken part in the famous Dunkirk retreat. I can choose three different markings without having to buy a separate decal.
FIGURE GERMANY Totenkopf Division Budapest 1945 Dragon 1/35
This time I will try to make a figure of Totenkopf Division of the German Army at the end of World War II. Totenkopf Division is the 3rd SS Armored Division. What's premium about the premium edition?
AFV GERMANY Tiger I Ausf. E Late Panzerkampfwagen VI German Heavy Tank Italeri 1/35
Now I will try to assemble the Italeri Tiger-I tank, which is pretty old and has always been in the back of the closet. This Italeri kit is probably too old not to have etched parts on the engine grill before it was renewed. Model number 6471 seems to include etched parts, but this kit is old, so it didn't.
AFV USA US Army M3 Lee Medium Tank Early Type Takom 1/35
Takom M3 Lee tank. I remember it became pretty popular after its release, along with the British Grant Tank. The parts are sharp and overall easy to assemble. The markings say 2nd Armored Division in 1942, according to the instructions. Also known as "Hell on Wheels." I like this nationality mark because it's a little retro and cool. This division served in North Africa with the 1st Armored Division.
AFV GERMANY German Pak40 75mm Anti-Tank Gun AFV Club 1/35
I will try to make a German anti-tank gun this time. It has a metal barrel, a thin shield, and a few etched parts. Compared to the previous Tamiya anti-tank gun, it seems to have many parts and finer details. That's so accurate and reproducible. I am glad the anti-tank guns and figures I had been piling up for many years were completed.
AFV ISRAEL IDF Sho’t Kal Dalet with Battering Ram AFV Club 1/35
AFV Club Israel Defense Forces Sho't Kal D Dalet. The main guns, engines, transmissions, and fire control equipment (FCS) of the British Centurion tanks have been converted to suit the performance of the Israeli homeland defense. It seems completely different from the original.
AIRCRAFT RUSSIA Russian MiG-31M Foxhound Hobby Boss 1/48
The MiG-31M is finally complete. The MiG-31M is a supersonic high-altitude interceptor developed by the Soviet Union and its successor, the Russian Federation. It improved the MiG-31 and was developed in the early 1990s. The engine has been improved, and the CRT in the cockpit seems to have been improved. It has the characteristic of not responding unless you think in Russian for some reason.
AIRCRAFT UK E.E. Lightning T. Mk.4 Sword 1/48
Despite all the troubles, EE Lightning is now completed. The only supersonic fighter plane developed by the U.K. The movement performance is rated as good, but the armed and electronic armaments and the amount of fuel loaded were rated as insufficient. Other than the U.K., Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait have introduced it.
AFV RUSSIA Soviet Army T-62 Main Battle Tank Mod.1962 Trumpeter 1/35
This tank is the world's first tank equipped with a smoothbore gun. It resembles the T-55 but features a 115mm smoothbore gun turret. Compared to previous tanks, the firepower was improved, but due to the poor performance of the sighting device, the accuracy rate was extremely low at more than 1,500m.
AFV GERMANY German Mine Clearing Vehicle VsKfz 617 Alkett Minenroller Meng Model 1/35
The VsKfz 617, heavy Mine Clearing Vehicle, is complete. It is a mine disposal vehicle that can neutralize landmines by crushing them under its weight. Only one prototype was manufactured in 1942. Even today, the actual vehicle is preserved in the Kubinka Museum in Russia. I'm curious how the Russian Army captured them.
FIGURE GERMANY German Panzer-Regiment 7, 10th Panzer Division Smolensk 1941 Dragon 1/35
All three tank crews are dressed for all but midwinter or early summer. General Guderian wears a coat. Dragon model figures are a bit large, and I have a lot of trouble matching them with the vehicle.
AFV GERMANY German Pz. Kpfw. IV Ausf. F1 Border Model 1/35
I will build a Border Model German Pz. Kpfw. IV Ausf. F1. A few years ago, I bought three Pz. Kpfw. IV kits from a Border Model, so it's about time I made one. By the way, it is distinguished that the short barrel type is F1 type, and the long barrel type is F2.
AIRCRAFT USA U.S. Air Force T-33A Shooting Star Academy 1/48
This time it's the Academy's T-33A shooting star. The Cartograf decals look high quality, and the instrument panel details look good. The reproduction of the landing gear compartment is also relatively good for an old kit.
AIRCRAFT USA US Navy F8F-2 Bearcat Hobby Boss 1/48
The U.S. Navy Bearcat is finally complete. I've made an F6F Hellcat before, and it's a bit smaller than that. It's smaller than Zero. Because the F6F was too large to be used in escort carriers without a catapult, the goal was to have a fighter that could be used in smaller escort carriers. And yet the engines were so powerful that they could win a mock battle against the captured Zero.
