SWS Flak43 German Half-Track Heavy Military Tractor Italeri 1/35

It is an Italeri kit, a type equipped with an anti-aircraft gun of SWS Flak43 German half-track heavy military tractor. The track is partially connected, so you can easily create a hanging feeling. For the first time in a while, the paint peeling is expressed by the hair spray technique.

Zero Fighter A6M3 Model32 Imperial Japanese Navy Sweet 1/144

Sweet kits are good. Even at 1/144 scale, it has a very precise feel. If I file it a little, the lines will disappear. This time it's a model 32 of Zero Fighting, but I wanted to make many more.

M10 GMC U.S. Army Tank Destroyer Academy 1/35

It's the Academy's M10 destroyer tank. I used a strong primer because the belt caterpillar is hard and doesn't seem to stick to the paint. Marking is the Free French 5th panzer division developing it in Germany in April 1945.

Seiran Aichi M6A1 Imperial Japanese Navy Attack Aircraft Tamiya 1/48

I made a Tamiya Seiran. It's my first seaplane. The parts fit well and the volume makes this kit very satisfying when completed. Seiran is a special attack aircraft that can be stored in a submarine and can carry an 800 kg bomb. By the end of the war, 28 planes were produced.

Heavy Cruiser Haguro 1945 Imperial Japanese Navy Fujimi 1/700

I made Fujimi's heavy cruiser Haguro. At this time, I was thinking that it would be best to just assemble it and paint it, and I would like to just install a handrail to improve the precision. I thought it was only gray, but it has a lot of detailed paintings.

German Infantry Camouflage Uniform Tamiya 1/16

I thought about making a big figure of 1/16 scale. This is my first time, so I chose the Tamiya German infantry camouflage field uniform. I basically like the German army. I did my best on the whole, but in the end, if I don't improve around the eyes, its appearance won't improve.

U.S. Tank Crew Modern AFV Crew Alpine 1/35

Alpine figures have a sharp mold and are easy to apply. It was hard because I drew all the details with a brush. When I combined it with the Stryker armored car that I made the other day, I was surprised that the Stryker looked big.

Stryker M1128 U.S. Army Mobile Gun System MGS AFV Club 1/35

It is a Stryker M1128. This is an AFV club kit. This manufacturer's Stryker series has a little more parts, but it's easy to assemble. I liked the color of the AFV, but the way of weathering was not so good. It might be better not to get too dirty with Modern AFV.

A-7E Corsair II U.S. Navy Attack Aircraft Hasegawa 1/48

It is a Hasegawa A-7E Corsair II. It is a fairly old release, but it is still a highly rated kit. Marking is ARGONAUTS VA-147 U.S.Navy at USS KITTY HAWK aircraft carrier. I bought it before, so it was hard because the decal has deteriorated.

German Tank Crew LAH (Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler) Kharkov Alpine 1/35

I made a German tank crew set of Alpine. Their faces are too white. It was a waste of time to ruin it by painting it even though the shape was good. A tank soldier in winter clothes. This time, I applied it in oil.

German Heavy Tank Kingtiger, Tiger II, Henschel Turret Dragon 1/35

This time I built the Dragon King Tiger, the Henschel turret. It's a shame, but the molded ones are nicer than the epoxy putty coatings by myself. This item has a rough look without wearing a side skirt.

Apache AH-64D JGSDF Attack Helicopter Hasegawa 1/48

I built a Hasegawa Apache helicopter. The plastic model of the helicopter is first-time and fresh. The missile is a guided missile called Hellfire II. The next tube-like beehive is the Hydra 70 · 70mm rocket launcher stores 19 rockets.

BM-21 Grad Late Type Russian Multiple Rocket Launcher Trumpeter 1/35

I built the Trumpeter BM-21 Grad self-propelled multiple launch rocket. Truck plastic models are also quite interesting. Once the driver's compartment is assembled, it is necessary to paint the inside. The orange light and the Russian flag on the door serve as accents.

German 20mm Flak38 Figure Set Tristar 1/35

Tristar's anti-aircraft gun figure set. Surprisingly, this kit had two runners for three in the box by mistake, so I couldn't make them all. Maybe it was better because it was a tragedy to have two pairs in the back.

German 20mm Flak38 Sd.Ah.51 Trailer Tristar 1/35

It is an anti-aircraft machine gun of Tristar. Because it is small, the assembly will be finished soon, so I tried to paint as well as possible. If I draw a shot-down mark on the bulletproof plate, it will increase its presence. There are also plenty of accessories such as spare barrel cases.
