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.

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.

I made a Trumpeter Hawker Sea Hawk. The markings are from a British Navy 810 squadron aircraft operated by the aircraft carrier Albion in 1956. The first-generation fighter jets may not be called the current category anymore.

F-86F Sabre Thunder Tiger Republic Of China Air Force Hasegawa 1/48

It is a Hasegawa F-86F saver. This kit is a fighter plane of the Taiwan Air Force. The Republic of China (Taiwan) has been operating more than 320 F-86Fs from the United States since 1955. At that time, Taiwan, the Philippines, South Korea, Japan, and many other countries were receiving military assistance from the United States to protect them from the threat of communism.

Lavochkin La-7 Soviet Fighter Academy 1/48

It's Lavochkin La-7 Soviet Fighter, Academy's kit. Marking is the ace pilot of the 156 fighter regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Sergei F. Dolgushin No.93. The manual has a 165 fighter regiment, but probably it's a misprint. The color of the aircraft is quite plain. The tail marking serves as an accent.

M4A2 Sherman USMC Medium Tank Dragon 1/35

It seems to be said that the shape of the Dragon Sherman Tank is not very accurate. Or rather, each manufacturer except Tasca was not so good. I want to make Tasca of stock as soon as possible, but I thought it would be pitiful if the Dragon was not completed. It looks gorgeous with multi-material.

Tiger-I Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf.E Early Type Italeri 1/35

It is an Italeri kit Tiger I. It is quite difficult to express such slight drooping in a partially connected track. I had a hard time fixing the gun barrel. German gray Tiger-I goes well with early models.

German Gebirgsjager Mountain Troops Caucasus 1942 Dragon 1/35

It is a Dragon figure of the old days, so it has a good physique. The head has been replaced with resin for a sharp impression. It can be decorated on a wooden cube to create a luxurious feel. Mountaineering soldiers seem hard because they have a lot of luggage.

BMP-1 Russian Infantry Fighting Vehicle Trumpeter 1/35

The Russian infantry fighting vehicle BMP-1. Trumpeter kit. I wonder if these are rather plain and not very popular. I wrote "Soviet Army" and "Russian Army", but is this nationality mark Czech Army? I'm sorry I'm not too familiar with it. Trumpeter kits always have little to say about marking.

Destroyer Nenohi 1933 Imperial Japanese Navy Aoshima 1/700

It is the Aoshima kit of destroyer Nenohi. The gun barrel of the main gun was changed to the brass wire, and even though I was a beginner, I was reckless... But the impression when it is completed with or without a handrail is quite different.

Tomahawk IIb (P-40C) Royal Air Force Fighter Academy 1/48

The Academy's Tomahawk is a British fighter. The fitting of the parts was not bad. The number of parts was small and the shape was relatively easy, and the decal of the Cartograf was beautiful and easy to stick. A marking is RAF 112th flying squadron Tomahawk Mk. IIb AK 578 GA-V Neville Duke pilot airplane in January - February 1942 in Egypt.
