MINIATURE ARCADIA Plastic models making

British Sherman VC Firefly Tasca 1/35

It is Tasca's Firefly. The vehicle body of this kit is very similar to a real one, which has been long-awaited by Sherman tank fans. I load various loads and change the head of the tank commander to resin.

Hotchkiss H39 French Light Tank Bronco 1/35

It's a Bronco light tank kit, Hotchkiss H39. It says product number 001, so it must be the first tank kit of the Bronco model. A unique French tank card mark is drawn on the body.

Typhoon Mk.1B Royal Air Force Fighter-Bomber Hasegawa 1/48

It is the Hawker Typhoon of Hasegawa. The invasion stripes are impressive and cool. It is rather big for a reciprocating fighter of the 1/48 scale. I try to paint the propeller spinner again.

KV-2 German Captured Type Soviet Heavy Tank Trumpeter 1/35

KV-2 Tank Gigant, Trumpeter kit. I painted it with an elephant-like camouflage on the assumption that it was captured by the German army. This kind of flat and large surface with the epoxy putty Zimmerit Coating is fun.

SU-100 Soviet Tank Destroyer Dragon 1/35

Dragon SU-100 Soviet Destroyer Tank. It is a premium edition and contains a lot of finely etched parts. There are also big works such as hollowing out the vehicle body. For that reason, I think the finish is good because of the high precision.

BT-5 Soviet Light Tank Zvezda 1/35

It was very difficult to make the BT-5 of Zvezda. This is one of the reasons why I have been away from Eastern Europe kits for a while. Regardless of the result, I had a sense of accomplishment when it was completed with effort.
