Zero Fighter A6M5 Model52 Imperial Japanese Navy Sweet 1/144

I made a Sweet Zero. It is a standard Zero fighter kit. I bought it thinking that there were 2 kits as usual, but in fact, it was clearly written on the package that there was only 1 kit. The decal with letters written in a Japanese flag looks unique.

P-51D Mustang U.S. Army Air Force Fighter Platz 1/144

I thought Sweet was the only 1/144 scale airplane plastic model with a good mold, but this Platz Mustang is pretty good. It is difficult to mark small airframes in detail. But I think propellers are pretty realistic.

Junkers Ju87G-2 Stuka German Anti Tank Attacker Hasegawa 1/48

This is Stuka from Hasegawa. 1/48 is big and powerful when completed. The marking is Luftwaffe Kdr./SG2 (2nd Ground Support Wing). Stuka was slow in speed and the air combat ability is low, so switched over to the Focke-Wulf Fw190. I can see the cockpit well, so I added seatbelts that are sold separately.

Messerschmitt Bf109K-4 German Fighter Academy 1/48

It is Academy Bf109K-4. It had a gun barrel made of metal. This is the symbol of the red tulip markings of Colonel Hermann Graf, who is the 52nd fighter wing (JG52) commander. I like that it has a Cartograf decal.

Suchoj Su-7 BKL Fitter A Polish Fighter-Bomber Smer 1/48

It is an Eastern European kit called Smer. This fitter's mold seems to be quite old, so it was hard to make it. My goal changed from "Let's make it beautiful" to "Let's complete it." It was really good that it was completed.

F-100F Super Sabre U.S. Air Force Fighter Trumpeter 1/48

It is a Trumpeter F-100F Super Sabre. 1/48 scale is quite big and worth painting. Marking is the 48th Tactical Fighter Wing at RAF Lakenheath's airbase in 1960. It's a base of the British Air Force, but only the 48th air wing of the U.S. Air Force was stationed.

Hawker Hurricane Mk.I Finish & Romanian Air Force Fighter Sweet 1/144

It is Hawker Hurricane, a 1/144 scale fighter plane of Sweet. I chose Romanian and Finnish fighters because I could choose various markings. Camouflage painting is difficult for small ones.

Zero Fighter A6M3 Model32 Imperial Japanese Navy Sweet 1/144

Sweet kits are good. Even at 1/144 scale, it has a very precise feel. If I file it a little, the lines will disappear. This time it's a model 32 of Zero Fighting, but I wanted to make many more.

Seiran Aichi M6A1 Imperial Japanese Navy Attack Aircraft Tamiya 1/48

I made a Tamiya Seiran. It's my first seaplane. The parts fit well and the volume makes this kit very satisfying when completed. Seiran is a special attack aircraft that can be stored in a submarine and can carry an 800 kg bomb. By the end of the war, 28 planes were produced.

A-7E Corsair II U.S. Navy Attack Aircraft Hasegawa 1/48

It is a Hasegawa A-7E Corsair II. It is a fairly old release, but it is still a highly rated kit. Marking is ARGONAUTS VA-147 U.S.Navy at USS KITTY HAWK aircraft carrier. I bought it before, so it was hard because the decal has deteriorated.

Su-33 Flanker D Russian Navy Carrier-Borne Fighter Hasegawa 1/72

I tried to make Hasegawa Su-33 Flanker D with many arms. The blue camouflage paint peculiar to Russian planes is cool. I am personally satisfied with the bomb equipment on the back. There are many fine decals even on a 1/72 scale.

Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb Trop. Royal Air Force Fighter Tamiya 1/48

This is a tropical version of Tamiya Spitfire. This marking is the 244th Wing Commander Ian R Gleed,1943 Tunisia North Africa. Tamiya's decal was too old to use so I tried to use the Hasegawa decal just I have. It's a very troubled work. Anyway, I completed it.

It is a 1/32 scale Hasegawa Raiden. I was most surprised that it came with a good figure. Various parts are big. The decal in the cockpit was unexpectedly good.
