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.

US Check Point in Iraq Master Box 1/35

It is a Master Box figure set of U.S. infantry. The camouflage paint on the uniform is hard. Recent camouflage uniforms have adopted dot camouflage uniforms that are effective for both field and street fighting. It is difficult to reproduce that with a brush. It would have been more like that if I had drawn it more vertically and horizontally.

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.

These are Dragon's figures of the German soldiers who have been in the first year of the German-Soviet war. For the first year, they might have been underestimating the winter in Russia, but it is famous that they had a hard time because they did not have very full-fledged winter equipment.
