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.

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.

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.

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.

My previous Meng Jagdpanther paint was monotonous, so I added a little more weathering. I also picked up a tank crew.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!"
