Missile SS-1C Scud B With MAZ-543 TEL Soviet Army Dragon 1/35

Dragon SS -1 C Scud B and eight wheels drive large military vehicle kit. As you can see from the package, it is a little old kit now. Since it was big, I tried to make it sturdy to some extent, so I buried putty in the gap of the tire and hardened it with a relatively strong instant adhesive.

Suchoj S-37 (Su-47) Berkut Russian Air Force Fighter Revell 1/144

It's Revell Suchoj S-37. The basic color of the aircraft is 80% matte black and 20% blue. Hmm, is this the unique blackish color of the airplane? When I actually paint it, I can't really distinguish the color. If you look closely, it looks bluish.

Supermarine Spitfire Mk. XII Royal Air Force Fighter Airfix 1/48

This is an Airfix Spitfire. I am glad that plastic model manufacturers in that country are offering kits of famous aircraft that they can be proud of to the world. The Mk. XII Spitfire was deployed only in the 41st Squadron, Royal Air Force Tangmere, Sussex, and the 91st Squadron, RAF Hawkinge, Kent, England. About 100 fighters from other types were modified. The Airfix kit decal can also be chosen from these two squadrons.

Polikarpov I-16 Type 10 Russian Air Force Fighter Eduard 1/48

It's an Eduardo Polykarpov I -16 fighter kit. Comes with a cockpit panel and seat belt parts for detailed details. The Marking is the Generalmajor Ivan A. Lakeev, Hero of the Soviet Union, 1941. The Eduard instruction comments "This aircraft was based with 46th IAP at Vasilkov airfield. Note that this was a VIP aircraft, very carefully maintained, kept clean and polished, in perfect condition. It will be a disappointment to heavy weathering lovers, so be careful with pre-shading and other weathering tricks."

Sd.Kfz.251/1 Ausf.D Schützenpanzer German Half-Track AFV Club 1/35

It is a standard 251 half-track of AFV Club. The marking was the vehicle of the 2nd-SS Panzer Division "Das Reich". By the way, Das Reich is German meaning "nation". It was a vehicle around July 1944. In February 1944 Das Reich Division was reorganized and supplemented and it was transferred to the direction of Normandy from the Eastern Front.

German Self-Propelled Gun Crew Dragon 1/35

The Dragon World War II German self-propelled artillery crew. I think I can combine them as a tank soldier in an ordinary winter uniform. It is a camouflage paint of dark green and red-brown on the basic beige paint. In addition, there is a vertical black line, which is a rather laborious process in painting German uniforms, and I think it can be said that it is a kind of military uniform that requires a lot of painting work.

Dragon German tank crew figure set. There is 6 crew in total. It's a typical German tank soldier's black uniform. The crew of Neubau-Fahrzeug that I made earlier is 6 crew, so it is not a bad situation to put a figure on a tank.

It is the Neubau-Fahrzeug multi-turret tank of Dragon, Cyber-Hobby. Neubau-Fahrzeug is a multi-turret tank developed before the outbreak of World War II. In Germany, after the defeat in World War I, the possession of tanks was prohibited under the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, so they were developing under the name of large tractors.

KV-1 Type-C Russian Heavy Tank Tamiya 1/35

This is the old kit of Tamiya's KV-1 heavy tank. I used this because I had a leftover belt-style Trumpeter. Adhesion is possible with plastic adhesives, so subtle looseness of track can be expressed only by adhesion. This time, the metal wire is stuck to the chassis to loosen the track.

It is an Italeri SWS cargo half truck. It was a fairly old kit, but it was a part of a partially connected track.

Destroyer Urakaze 1944 Imperial Japanese Navy Fujimi 1/700

It is a destroyer kit of Fujimi. Out of the two sets, I made only Yukikaze, so I made the other one with Urakaze. It seems that the number of machine guns is only different because it is the same type of ship. I'm getting used to the etched parts, but it's hard to use the instant glue.

Sd.Kfz.2 Kettenkrad “Girls’ Last Tour” Dragon 1/35

It is Dragon Kettenkrad. I made it like Kettenkrad, which appears in "Girls' Last Tour". According to the setting, the total length of the vehicle is slightly longer, but I ignored it. All I have to do is add a rack on the left side of the rear of the vehicle and place drums, luggage, and bottles. The scratch build of the figure was very hard, and even if I started it casually, it was reckless.

Pet Rabbit Netherlands Dwarf Tips, Clean Toilet with Citric Acid, Stubborn Dirt Remover

Rabbit urine contains a lot of calcium, so urinary stones stick to the toilet. If you leave it for a year, the stones will form layers and stick to it, so it is not good in terms of smell and hygiene. If you use citric acid, urinary stones will melt or break and it is very effective for cleaning.
