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.

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.

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.
