Draken S35E Swedish Air Force Recon Plane Hasegawa 1/48

This is a Hasegawa’s Draken. Marking of Draken, Swedish Air Force, F11(11-02), 1965. It is a natural metal version and silver coating is quite difficult. It's a reconnaissance plane, so it doesn't have military gear, but there are camera pods everywhere.

MiG-21MF Polish Air Force Academy 1/48

It's the Academy's MiG-21 of the Polish Air Force. This time, I used too much softener to make a large marlin decal look terrible. I think the marking itself is a special marking of the 3rd tactical flight team of the Polish Air Force.

German Medical Troops Dragon 1/35

Dragon's German Army medical soldier figure set. The buckle and epaulets of the belt use a Tamiya German army decal set. Basically, medical soldiers did not carry weapons, but they carried handguns on the Eastern Front in the German-Soviet war. Is it because the war between Germany and the Soviet Union tended not to comply with the war regulations?

ZSU-23-4V1 Shilka Czechoslovakian Anti-Aircraft Gun Dragon 1/35

It's a Dragon Silka self-propelled antiaircraft gun. It was old and I was prepared to be difficult to assemble, but it was completed without any trouble. The decal has deteriorated, but I don't care much about the AFV plastic models.

It is MiG-15 of the Trumpeter. It is a fighter plane dispatched by the Chinese army to support North Korea in the Korean War as marked in 1953. It was hard to assemble. Tamiya seems to be easier to complete.

Soviet Tank Crew Alpine 1/35

Russian tank soldier of Alpine. Even with 1/35, the mold is extremely excellent, so it is easy to apply and separate. The details are still difficult. I don't want to compare the pictures of the paint samples because they are too good, it is difficult to decide the reference colors without them.

Light Cruiser Tenryu 1942 Imperial Japanese Navy Hasegawa 1/700

Hasegawa Tenryu has a reputation for being easy to assemble. I added a handrail for the etched part and I tried to make an antenna. The area of the linoleum deck is quite large. It is a light cruiser that is good at night battle equipped with many torpedo tubes.

M2A2 ODS Bradley U.S. Army Infantry Fighting Vehicle Tamiya 1/35

It's Tamiya's M2A2 ODS Bradley infantry fighting vehicle. I didn't want to wear a belt type of track, but this vehicle has a lot of hidden parts, so I think I don't have to be so concerned about it.

Zero Fighter A6M5 Model52 Imperial Japanese Navy Tamiya 1/48

I think it's Tamiya's new Zero fighter. I was surprised that there were 4 pilot figures standing. This paint might be stronger. Maybe this paint is more enthusiastic. This time, I built the Zero in the Battle of the Philippine Sea, June 19, 1944. Carrier Junyo, Lead ship of Carrier Div. 2, 652nd Fighter Group.

Tortoise A39 British Heavy Assault Tank Meng Model 1/35

It is a Tortoise heavy assault tank of MENG. It took a long time to assemble the footwear of the chassis like a heavy tank. It was the end of the war and they had no chance to play an active role before they were sent to the front. I heard that only 6 were produced.

20mm Flakvierling Sd.Kfz7/1 German 8 ton Half-Track Tamiya 1/35

It is Tamiya's 8-ton half-track 20 mm 4-barreled anti-aircraft gun. It comes with a lot of winter figurines, so I wonder if there are many people who have winter camouflage in their vehicles. When I changed the face of the figure to resin, it became easier to paint.

S.A.S. Land Rover Pink Panther British Special Vehicle For Desert Tamiya 1/35

This is Tamiya's Pink Panther. a vehicle used by the British Special Air Service. British Command Force S.A.S. specification. The pink color blends into the desert unexpectedly, which seems to have a camouflage effect.

M923A1 Big Foot U.S. Army Military Truck Italeri 1/35

The Italeri military truck M923A1 is built. This time, the modern track seems to have a lot of volumes. I changed tires and packed a lot of things like drums, miscellaneous bags, and a combat ration.

F-14A Black Tomcat U.S. Navy Carrier-Based Fighter Revell 1/144

I think Revell's newer 1/144 F-14A kit is very good. Although it is a mini scale, it is very delicate and the decal is also fine. This is "Vandy One", Air Test and Evaluation Squadron VX-4, NAS Pt Mugu, California, USA, 1991.

Dassault Mirage IIIc French Air Force Fighter Eduard 1/48

I built Eduard Mirage IIIc. The marking is the 10th Airwing 2nd Fighter Squadron "Seine" in April 1976, it's the beautiful red line accent on the metal plates. In this kit, the mold of the parts is sharp and the rear end of the main wing is quite thin and well made. I was surprised to see a standing pilot figure.
