Object 279 Soviet Prototype Heavy Tank Amusing Hobby 1/35

This is Amusing Hobby Object 279. If you like to wear a combination track, don't hesitate to do this! The vehicle with a vicious form that can withstand a nuclear war is popular among Russian tank fans. It is rumored that the Amusing Hobby is the hardest to assemble among the 3 competitive production companies, but it was completed successfully.

Type 4 Chi-To Imperial Japanese Army Medium Tank Finemolds 1/35

I built a Finemolds type 4 medium tank Chi-To. The track is a belt type, but if you carefully wind it, it will look quite realistic. I was weathering with the idea that it was a tank used for homeland defense in Japan, however before I knew it, the tone was the same as usual.

British Armored Car Crew Set Miniart 1/35

It's a Miniart British armored vehicle crew. The scout car figure set, of course, is it matches scout cars? I tried to put it on a Staghound, it seems to go well. Is not all the figures wearing the right clothes as some are North African uniform?

This is a Staghound from Bronco. The marking is the 2nd Household Cavalry VIII Corp, N. W. Europe 1944-45. It is quite fine with many parts. It really is a large-sized vehicle. I thought it was smaller because it was round-shaped.

WWII Imperial Japanese Navy Fighter Pilot Tamiya 1/16

It's Tamiya's Zero fighter pilot figure. The 1/16 scale is much larger than the 1/35 that I usually make. standing in flight suits and life jackets. Of course, the mold of the face was very good, and the military sword was unexpectedly cool.

Master Box US Infantry, a jungle patrol figure set in the Vietnam War. Usually, there are many WWII infantry, so it's interesting to make military outfits and equipment for different times for the first time. I pulled their eyeliner too hard.

Heavy Cruiser Tone 1944 Imperial Japanese Navy Fujimi 1/700

I built Fujimi's heavy cruiser Tone. Uses Fujimi's special etched parts. It is interesting to arrange 4 water reconnaissance planes on the rear deck as an accent. Even without etched parts, Fujimi's special series has fine molds, so it has a good finish.

3.7cm FLAK37 Sd.Kfz7/2 Armored Cab Type German 8-ton Half-Track Tamiya 1/35

This is a Tamiya kit of FLAK37 German 8-ton Half-Track. I tried to use a similar kit of Tamiya before and failed to install a Modelkasten track set, so this time it is revenge. I could choose the marking two types, Gross-Deutschland Armored Grenadier Division, and Herman Gering 2nd Battalion. I chose Gross-Deutschland.

T-80U Russian Main Battle Tank Xact 1/35

It's a Xact T-80U kit. I was surprised about what to do when I opened the kit box and found a twisted belt track, but otherwise, it was a great kit. I wonder if this manufacturer is no longer active. Business continuity is difficult. I tried T-80, which is the guard of the Soviet Army.

It is a Dragon Patton M48A3 tank. I made a shark mouse mark with a Vietnam War vehicle. I did weathering with the image of Vietnamese soil. I think there is no problem with the texture of the Dragon Styrene Caterpillar.
