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.

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.

BM-21 Grad Late Type Russian Multiple Rocket Launcher Trumpeter 1/35

I built the Trumpeter BM-21 Grad self-propelled multiple launch rocket. Truck plastic models are also quite interesting. Once the driver's compartment is assembled, it is necessary to paint the inside. The orange light and the Russian flag on the door serve as accents.

German 20mm Flak38 Sd.Ah.51 Trailer Tristar 1/35

It is an anti-aircraft machine gun of Tristar. Because it is small, the assembly will be finished soon, so I tried to paint as well as possible. If I draw a shot-down mark on the bulletproof plate, it will increase its presence. There are also plenty of accessories such as spare barrel cases.

Merkava Mk. IV Israeli Main Battle Tank Academy 1/35

This is an Academy's Merkava Mk. IV. There is no anti-slip coating on the turret and the upper surface of the tank, so I tried to express using Tamiya's scene texture paint. The chain skirt work was extremely troublesome.

TIGER-I Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf.E Latest Type German Heavy Tank AFV Club 1/35

It's the AFV Club kit of the latest type of Tiger I. Epoxy putty and rollers are applied with a Zimmerit Coating. I used the AFV Club workable track. The marking is Waffen SS 101st Heavy Panzer Battalion in Cean France in 1944. It is around the time of a famous fight, the Battle of Villers-Bocage.

Zündapp K800 German Military Motorcycle Vulcan 1/35

It's Zündapp K800 from Vulkan Scale Models. There was also a motorcycle soldier. The spokes on the wheel of the etched part are realistic. It is difficult to match the figure and the motorcycle.
