Munchkin Adult Cat Chai, Recent Situation April-2020

This is a recent report about my cat. Munchkin Chai. He was born in January last year, so he became an adult cat in 1 year and 4 months. Last fall, his ears were worn out due to cat mold, but it was cured a long time ago, and he has been doing well without any disease recently.

Dragon German military police figure. I used Tamiya's class badge decal set for the gorget. I changed the head to resin. Some of the heads didn't paint well, but it was easier to paint than the original parts.

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.

F-15E Strike Eagle Revell 1/48

I built the Revell F-15E Strike Eagle. I built the F-15E Strike Eagle which is 1/48 scale of the level. This is said to be the best kit in F-15E. I like it because it is easy to make, the parts match well and the mold is precise. Marking is the335th Tactical Fighter Squadron "Chiefs" 4th Fighter Wing. It's during the Desert Storm mission in the Gulf War of February 1991.

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.

Soviet Infantry in Action, 1941-1942 Master Box 1/35

It's Master Box's Soviet infantry figure. Some soldiers are in a striking pose. I've seen this pattern in other sets. I wonder if MasterBox likes to include a soldier who has been shot. I made my own small arms straps and added a little bit of work.

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.
