M4A2 Sherman USMC Medium Tank Dragon 1/35

It seems to be said that the shape of the Dragon Sherman Tank is not very accurate. Or rather, each manufacturer except Tasca was not so good. I want to make Tasca of stock as soon as possible, but I thought it would be pitiful if the Dragon was not completed. It looks gorgeous with multi-material.

Tiger-I Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf.E Early Type Italeri 1/35

It is an Italeri kit Tiger I. It is quite difficult to express such slight drooping in a partially connected track. I had a hard time fixing the gun barrel. German gray Tiger-I goes well with early models.

BMP-1 Russian Infantry Fighting Vehicle Trumpeter 1/35

The Russian infantry fighting vehicle BMP-1. Trumpeter kit. I wonder if these are rather plain and not very popular. I wrote "Soviet Army" and "Russian Army", but is this nationality mark Czech Army? I'm sorry I'm not too familiar with it. Trumpeter kits always have little to say about marking.

Type2 Ho-I Imperial Japanese Army Tank Destroyer Finemolds 1/35

It is a Finemolds Type2 Ho-I tank. I used an Imperial Army Type 97 movable track by Vision Models. I bought it again because the current kit has been changed to a partially connected track. The body is bigger than other tanks of the Imperial Army.

Jagdpanzer IV/70(V) Lang German Tank Destroyer Gunze Creos 1/35

Gunze Creos Lang IV Destroyer Tank 70 (V). This marking is the 116th Armored Division in Ruhr region Germany in 1945. The number might be somewhat different. The predecessor of the 116 division is known as the 16th Motorized Infantry Division "Hound (Windhund) division", advanced to the Astrakhan in the Soviet Union, which is a force that had invaded the most eastward.

SU-85 Soviet Tank Destroyer Tamiya 1/35

This is Tamiya SU-85. The tank body is the same as that of the T-34, so I was surprised that the belt-type caterpillar from the stock AFV club was very nice. It's like a single truck. I wonder if the old kit came back to life. Thanks to the AFV Club parts.

Tunguska 2S6M Russian Anti-Aircraft Tank Panda Hobby 1/35

It is the Tunguska anti-air self-propelled gun of Panda Hobby. It was a kit that was quite difficult to assemble. The parts are fine, and there are parts that don't fit well. It's OK once it forms. It is the mark of the Guard.

Elefant German Heavy Tank Destroyer Tamiya 1/35

I made a Tamiya Elephant. The partially connected track is excellent. Zimmerit coating is done with epoxy putty and rollers. This vehicle marking is No.232, 2nd Company, 653rd Heavy Anti-Tank Battalion, Eastern Front, Summer 1944.

German Howitzer 15cm sFH18 with Limber Dragon 1/35

Dragon 15 cm German heavy howitzer kit. The confusion in this manual was the strongest among the Dragon Kit so far. The parts themselves are luxurious because this kit includes a metal gun barrel. There are various accessories, and if you paint them and put them together, you can make an atmosphere.

Sd.Kfz.223 German Reconnaissance Car Tamiya 1/35

I wonder if Sd. Kfz. 223 is a renewal of the old kit of Tamiya or something. There was an etched part in it. The vehicle equipment and figures were of the same quality as before. It's Afrika Korps the 15th Armored Division, the motorcycle battalion.

BT-7 Soviet Light Tank Tamiya 1/35

It is Tamiya's BT-7. I tried to express the peeling and rust of the paint by the hair spray technique. It might be too dirty for a single display. This tank is in Leningrad in 1943. This kit also comes with a decal of figures, so it's great.

SWS Flak43 German Half-Track Heavy Military Tractor Italeri 1/35

It is an Italeri kit, a type equipped with an anti-aircraft gun of SWS Flak43 German half-track heavy military tractor. The track is partially connected, so you can easily create a hanging feeling. For the first time in a while, the paint peeling is expressed by the hair spray technique.

M10 GMC U.S. Army Tank Destroyer Academy 1/35

It's the Academy's M10 destroyer tank. I used a strong primer because the belt caterpillar is hard and doesn't seem to stick to the paint. Marking is the Free French 5th panzer division developing it in Germany in April 1945.

Stryker M1128 U.S. Army Mobile Gun System MGS AFV Club 1/35

It is a Stryker M1128. This is an AFV club kit. This manufacturer's Stryker series has a little more parts, but it's easy to assemble. I liked the color of the AFV, but the way of weathering was not so good. It might be better not to get too dirty with Modern AFV.

German Heavy Tank Kingtiger, Tiger II, Henschel Turret Dragon 1/35

This time I built the Dragon King Tiger, the Henschel turret. It's a shame, but the molded ones are nicer than the epoxy putty coatings by myself. This item has a rough look without wearing a side skirt.
