The marking is the Wehrmacht 20th Armoured Division, Eastern Front in the summer of 1944. The division mark is imitating the breakthrough enemy lines.

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.

Sturmgeschütz III Ausf. E Bronco 1/35

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
