AFV GERMANY German Medium Tank Panter A Late Model Meng Model 1/35
I will try to make a MENG Panter tank after a long time. It has been a while since I made the D type before. Type A would look better with zimmerit coating.
AFV
AFV GERMANY 
AFV RUSSIA Russian Army Main Battle Tank T-90A Meng Model 1/35
This time I'm going to build a Russian T-90 tank. It is the most advanced main tank of the Russian army equipped with welded type turret called Vladimir turret. The T-90A is equipped with a Vladimir turret, and this turret strengthens its defenses.
AFV GERMANY German 8-Wheel Armored Vehicle Sd.Kfz.234/3 7.5 cm Stummel Dragon 1/35
It's rare to make a Dragon kit these days. Is Dragon's AFV still in distribution now? I think the price has gone up a lot. This time, I'm trying to make a German Army eight-wheeled armored vehicle.
AFV GERMANY Jagdtiger Takom 1/35
Now I'm going to make Jagdtiger from Takom. I think Tamiya released the early version, so let's make it later this time. But I don't really understand the difference.
AFV USA US Army M4 High Speed Tractor Hobby Boss 1/35
This time it's an Allied vehicle. It is a towing vehicle developed for the purpose of improving the power of Artillery of the U.S. Army.
AFV GERMANY Sd.Kfz.251/22 Ausf.D Pakwagen Anti-Tank Half-Track AFV Club 1/35
This time, I will try to build a German half track Pakwagen from AFV Club. It was a half-track vehicle used in Germany during World War II and is commonly known as the Pakwagen. The vehicle was a variation of an armored personnel carrier with an anti-tank 75 mm PaK 40 anti-tank gun.
AFV GERMANY German Heuschrecke IVb Grasshopper 10.5cm Waffentrager Trumpeter 1/35
This time I try to build a German self-propelled howitzer, the Heuschrecke. The biggest concept of this vehicle is that it can be removed with the turret and fired as a battery on the ground. Even though it was a prototype vehicle, it probably doesn't need a detachable function. But AFV with these features are rare and interesting.
AFV RUSSIA Soviet Army Tank T-34/76 Type-1943 Tamiya 1/35
I'm just going to make Tamiya's rather old kit, the T-34/76. I will try this Modelkasten connected movable track. There are detailed instructions, so it's better to read through them before setting up my Tamiya kit.
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.
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.
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.
AFV UK British Army Land Rover WMIK Milan ATGM type Hobby Boss 1/35
The anti-tank recoil gun is the primary weapon, and there are other machine guns. It seems to be easy to maneuver and high in combat power. The most challenging part of the assembly is where the parts with bonnets, side fenders, and front headlights are put together tightly with no gaps when glued together. The parts fit well, so they will be clean if carefully built. I strengthened it with a lot of superglue from the back.
AFV RUSSIA BMPT “Terminator” Russian Fire Support Combat Vehicle Meng Model 1/35
I will try to make a Russian military fire support vehicle, Terminator. I was wondering what the official name is, but it doesn't make sense. According to the Wiki, BMP-T is better for the original notation. It's with Boyevaya Mashina Podderzhki Tankov and a Tank Support Fighting Vehicle in English. The chassis looks like a T-90 at first glance. The turret has a very unusual shape.
AFV GERMANY German Sd. Kfz. 7 8t Half-Track Early Type Trumpeter 1/35
It's quite an old kit, but I'm considering building a German army 8t half-track. Is it out of product yet? However, I have an impression that many Dragon kits are hard to get anymore, and the price is skyrocketing, but many of the Trumpeter kits are still in the market even though they are relatively old. It's a logistic support vehicle without a cannon, but it looks fantastic when completed.
AFV USA US Main Battle Tank M1A2 Abrams Tusk I/Tusk II SEP Meng Model 1/35
When I finished making it, I was surprised at how many parts I had since I started assembling the turret. Also, it was hard because the difficulty level of the track was quite high. Abrams is released by various manufacturers, but the MENG kit is one of the final products. I think it's a very good kit.
AFV GERMANY Pak40(L46) 7.5cm Anti-Tank Gun Tamiya 1/35
The German 75 mm anti-tank gun was completed. Just in case, I painted the 3 figures that came with it. When the war between Germany and the Soviet Union started, they faced heavily armored Soviet army tanks, so the firepower of this class became essential.
AFV GERMANY Praga German Panzer Kpfw.38(t) Ausf. E/F Tristar 1/35
This 38(t) light tank was developed by Czechoslovakia to protect itself from Germany, the potential enemy, but it became a valuable weapon for the German army without ever having a fight with Germany. It was an excellent tank that supported the early German armored forces.
AFV GERMANY German Pzkpfw. I Ausf. F VK18.01 Late type Hobby Boss 1/35
This Hobby Boss German Pzkpfw. I Ausf. F has a small number of parts and is easy to make. Is it all right to enjoy the unusual shape of this vehicle? Clamps are not very precise, so I used etched parts sold separately.
AFV RUSSIA Soviet Heavy Tank Object 279 Panda Hobby 1/35
I built a Russian tank for the first time in a while. It's a Panda Hobby Object 279. This kit seems to be easy to build the body, so it's better to think of it as a kit to build a connecting track. I can't say it's high quality, but it looks pretty cool when completed.
AFV JAPAN JGSDF Type 16 Maneuver Combat Vehicle Tamiya 1/35
This time, I would like to make a Type-16 Tamiya kit, Maneuver Combat Vehicle, which I have wanted to make for a long ti...
AFV USA US Army Water Tank Truck Italeri 1/35
I built the Italeri US Army water tank truck. It is an old kit, but I managed to complete it. It's been about a year since I started. It is one of the logistic support vehicles that support the U.S. Army. It is an indispensable vehicle for ground troops.
AFV GERMANY Jagdpanther Ausf.G1 Sd.Kfz.173 Meng Model 1/35 (add more weathering)
My previous Meng Jagdpanther paint was monotonous, so I added a little more weathering. I also picked up a tank crew.
AFV USA M4A3E8 Sherman Easy Eight Asuka 1/35
Asuka's Sherman Easy Eight. The marking this time is the 8th Armored Division, deployed in Kirchhellen, Germany in March 1945. This time, I wanted to mark the front with a star inside the circle, so I chose this marking in this kit.
AFV GERMANY German Tiger I Initial Production Afrika Tamiya 1/35
Tamiya's Tiger I tank is an early type deployed in North Africa. I used a few etched parts of the Passion Models and using the AFV Club connection track. The markings are No. 501 Heavy Tank Battalion 1st Company No. 131, tank in Tunisia in 1942.
AFV GERMANY German Flakpanzer Gepard A1/A2 Meng Model 1/35
I made a Gepard self-propelled antiaircraft gun of MENG. It is my first production of a Bundeswehr vehicle. Marking is Westerwald Caravanguard, 2nd Regiment 2nd Armored Anti-Air Battalion, Bundeswehr, 1989.
AFV GERMANY Jagdpanther Ausf.G1 Sd.Kfz.173 Meng Model 1/35
The Jagdpanther is completed. The chassis was taken from the Panther tank. The main gun is equipped with a 71 caliber 88 mm gun, so it is heavily armed like the King Tiger heavy tank. MENG Jagdpanther kit is good overall, so I didn't think much about it and just moved my hands. The selection of parts is a little troublesome, maybe it is an excellent point of this kit.
AFV JAPAN JGSDF Type 60 APC Armored Personnel Carrier Finemolds 1/35
It is a Finemolds Ground Self-Defense Force 60 type armored car. The marking was the 4th Tank Battalion, Camp Kusu, Ohita pref. 1991. It is easy to make as a whole, and it is also good to wear a partially connected track.
AFV USA M5A1 Stuart U.S. Army 3Rd Armored Div. AFV Club 1/35
It is an AFV Club M5A1 Stuart light tank. I also tried using the connecting track of the AFV Club. The belt type is enough, but I think the details are finer in the connecting track.
AFV UK Valentine Mk.II/IV British Infantry Tank Tamiya 1/35
It is the Valentine British infantry tank of Tamiya. It was a part of a partially connected caterpillar. Two figures are attached and they are uniforms for North Africa. It is a little disappointing that there are not many kinds of decals.
AFV RUSSIA STZ-5 Soviet Artillery Tractor Vulcan Scale Models 1/35
I built a tractor that the Soviet army used during World War II. It is a kit of Vulcan scale Models. I'm not so sure about the slogan, but I think it might be "Kill the fascist!"
AFV JAPAN JGSDF Type 61 Tank Finemolds 1/35
I made a Finemolds Type 61 tank. The special etched parts affect the performance of this vehicle. It is good that the partially connected track is easy to assemble. I'm not sure if the decal was not in the first place or if I lost it, but I had a hard time losing it.
AFV RUSSIA T-90 Russian Main Battle Tank Zvezda 1/35
It is a kit of Zvezda's T-90 tank. The box assembly of the tank body I was most concerned about was completed without any problem. The lower part of the tank body at the bottom of the chassis was slightly curved. However, it was okay to fix it with my hand and adjust it so that it fits well with the parts on the side.
AFV GERMANY Panther Ausf.D Sd.Kfz.171 Meng Model 1/35
I made a Meng Model Panther. This tank marking is the 11th Armored Division 10th Armored Brigade 39th Tank Regiment 52th Battalion 6th Company 3rd Platoon. It is rare for a snorkel to be set upright.

I build the German half-track, Sd. Kfz. 251/9, Kanonenwagen. There are quite a few variants of the 251 half-tracks, and the Kanonenwagen is equipped with a short-barrel 75 mm gun. The marking is the Wehrmacht 20th Armoured Division, Eastern Front in the summer of 1944. The division mark is imitating the breakthrough enemy lines.
AFV USA U.S. M3A1 White Scout Car Early Production Hobby Boss 1/35
This time, I built a Hobby Boss M3A1 Scout Car. I loaded various equipment such as a sleeping bag, an assorted bag, a tented sheet, a canvas sheet, a cloth bucket on a spare jelly can. It looks quite strong with 3 machine guns.
AFV USA Jeep Willys MB 1/4-Ton 4X4 Truck Tamiya 1/35
Tamiya's Willys MB made a U.S. military jeep. It's small but precise and easy to assemble. The marking is the 7th Armored Division "Lucky Sevens" No. 814 Tank Destroyer Battalion and Reconnaissance Company, Car number 22, in Belgium in January 1945.
AFV OTHERS Skoda Pa-II Turtle Takom 1/35

AFV USA M1A2 SEP V2 Abrams Voiio 1/35
I made Voiio's M1A2 Abrams tank. The parts fit well and it is very easy to make. Only the belt caterpillar was a little hard to handle. The markings are for the U.S. Army stationed in Germany in 2017. The 1st Battalion of the 2nd Armored Brigade, the 66th Regiment, 4th Infantry Division.

It's a Bronco Sturmgeschütz III Ausf. E. The marking of this tank is German StuG. Abt 177 on the Eastern Front in 1941. The connected track is included in the kit, which is a point of a high evaluation. I love the overall angular form and the antenna case.
AFV JAPAN Japanese Tank Type 3 Chi-Nu Finemolds 1/35
Finemolds type 3 medium tank Chi-Nu. I used Vision Models connected track of Chi-Ha. Perhaps because Chi-Nu is large, there are not enough tracks, so I cut and pasted the belt-style footwear a little and connected it.
AFV JAPAN Japanese Tank Type 1 Chi-He Finemolds 1/35
This is the Finemolds Japanese Tank Type 1 Chi-He and a Vision model connected track for Chi-Ha. I chose the 5th Tank Regiment Headquarters, Colonel Sugimoto. It was in August 1945, in Saitama Prefecture Japan.
AFV FRANCE Somua S35 Tamiya 1/35
It is Tamiya's Somure S35, French middle tank. The marking is tank number 56 of the 18th Dragoon Regiment. For the first time in a while, all the basic painting was done by brushing. Vallejo was easier to apply, but Tamiya acrylic was enough for a narrow area.
AFV GERMANY German 2cm Flak38 Pzkpfw 38(t) Tristar 1/35
Tristar German 2 cm 38 (t) anti-aircraft tank was built. By the way, I have a 2cm antiaircraft figure so I tried to match it with this tank. It's a little tight. I remember that the 12th Panzer Division was a mark like Y, and I think it's strange, I thought the manual marking indication was wrong. It is not the 12th Panzer Division but the 12th SS Panzer Division. It's the Hitlerjugend Division.
AFV UK British Army Sherman V (M4A4) Asuka 1/35
Tasca, the current Asuka shaman kit. This marking is No.2 Squadron, 2nd Irish Guards, Guards Armored Division, August 1944 Cean Normandy. For the Sherman series, I used the T48 movable track belt released by the AFV Club. For some reason, the number of pieces was not enough.
AFV RUSSIA T-34/76 1942/43 Factory No.183 AFV Club 1/35
It's the AFV Club T-34/76 tank. Each factory has a slightly different shape, and the kit is "made in 183 factories." Waffle type track belt from MiniArt is used. When I purchased it, I mistakenly purchased an internal reproduction model of clear parts, so I make it normally.
AFV USA M-923 U.S. Armored Gun Truck Italeri 1/35
It's an Italeri military truck model, an M-923 armor gun truck. I changed the tire to Michelin. Gun trucks are transport trucks equipped with an armored cabin and carrier and armed with machine guns and grenade launchers. It seems that many of them were upgraded on the field.
AFV GERMANY Kingtiger Henschel Turret German Heavy Tank Meng Model 1/35
MENG MODEL King Tiger. It was possible to correct the distortion of the sus-arm by devising the assembly process. I appreciate that it was released at a reasonable price. Handling the Zimmerit Coating decal was a unique task.

AFV GERMANY Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf C German Medium Tank Tristar 1/35
It's Tristar Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf C. It's a nostalgic kit. The marking is the 1st Armored Division. Bluish German gray is interesting as it has a different taste. Since the firepower was not strong, they were deployed in the second-class unit after the middle of WWII.
AFV GERMANY Panzerkampfwagen II Ausf. J Vk16.01 German Light Tank Hobby Boss 1/35
It is Hobby Boss Panzerkampfwagen II Ausf. J. A unit insignia like this tower, the hobby boss manual has absolutely no description at all. I think that I have seen somewhere and examine it in various ways, it seems to be a mark of a unit called the order police, Ordnungpolizei.
AFV RUSSIA T-72B Mod. 1990 Russian Main Battle Tank Trumpeter 1/35
This is a Trumpeter T-72B Mod. 1990. There are connected track belts from the beginning, and it is easy to assemble with appropriate etched parts. As I thought, it is a modern tank, so the number of parts is quite large. It's hard to reach the painting.
AFV GERMANY Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf.N German Medium Tank Tamiya 1/35
I made Tamiya Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf.N. I used the AFV Club's Panzerkampfwagen III, the latter-stage caterpillar. Type III can be used from J type, and type IV can be used from G type to H type. Nursehorn and Hummel had much of this caterpillar. Marking was chosen from Leningrad, Kursk, North Africa.

AFV ITALIA Carro Armato L35/C (Carro Veloce 33/II Serie) 20Mm Anti-Tank Gun Bronco 1/35
It's an Italian light tank of Bronco. It's more like a tankette. I like these little AFVs. I think the marking is the ninth tank battalion in Libya, North Africa in 1941. By the way, this tank-loaded radio.
AFV GERMANY Sd.Kfz.250/1 Neu German Half-Track Gunze GSI Creos 1/35
Gunze, now Creos, this is Creos Sd.Kfz.250/1 Neu. German army half-track. Maybe it's a Dragon OEM or something. It is a dry plastic and similar to the material of Italeri. The marking is the 2nd Armored Division, 2nd reconnaissance Battalion, 3rd Squadron, 1944, in France.
AFV GERMANY Sturmtiger 38cm German Self Propelled Heavy Assault Gun AFV Club 1/35
This is an AFV Club Sturmtiger. I also used an AFV Club connecting track, a later-stage model for the Tiger I. I think it's more realistic than the belt type. The painting was the 1001 Panzersturm Company in 1945 at the Western Front. I think that it is probably near Bonn. There is no decal in this kit. I attached the national marks, personal preference.
