Aircraft Carrier Taiho 1944 Imperial Japanese Navy Fujimi 1/700

It's been a while since I built a warship of the Japanese Imperial Navy. This aircraft carrier, Taiho, was in a Fujimi lucky bag at the end of 2017. I have never made a kit of Taiho or a regular aircraft carrier, so I will do my best to complete it.

A Plastic Model Spray Booth, self-made, only Ventilator Duct Connected

I redesigned the spray booth. I chose Panasonic's FY-17CD8V ceiling-mounted ventilator unit. I have used it for about 12 years. I replaced it with a smaller fan this time.

German Half-track Riders Dragon 1/35

I will try making this kit of half-track riders because I probably won't make it anymore unless it's at this time. This is also an ancient kit released in 2011. The Dragon seems to have hardly been reproduced recently, so that it may be quite a valuable kit.

German Sd. Kfz. 7 8t Half-Track Early Type Trumpeter 1/35

It's quite an old kit, but I'm considering building a German army 8t half-track. Is it out of product yet? However, I have an impression that many Dragon kits are hard to get anymore, and the price is skyrocketing, but many of the Trumpeter kits are still in the market even though they are relatively old. It's a logistic support vehicle without a cannon, but it looks fantastic when completed.

US Main Battle Tank M1A2 Abrams Tusk I/Tusk II SEP Meng Model 1/35

When I finished making it, I was surprised at how many parts I had since I started assembling the turret. Also, it was hard because the difficulty level of the track was quite high. Abrams is released by various manufacturers, but the MENG kit is one of the final products. I think it's a very good kit.

Messerschmitt Bf110E Eduard 1/48

To be honest, this building was difficult. I thought about giving it up because it didn't have any parts, but anyway, I'm glad that it has a shape. The best feature of the Bf110 fighter is that it is heavily armed with 2x20 mm machine guns at the nose, 4x7.92 mm machine guns and 1x7.92 mm machine gun at the rear. There is also a pile of spare ammunition in the cockpit.

Pak40(L46) 7.5cm Anti-Tank Gun Tamiya 1/35

The German 75 mm anti-tank gun was completed. Just in case, I painted the 3 figures that came with it. When the war between Germany and the Soviet Union started, they faced heavily armored Soviet army tanks, so the firepower of this class became essential.

Munchkin Sanwa Supply Caster Cover for Chair SNC-COVER15 August 2022

As I sometimes introduce on this blog, I was in trouble because my cat got entangled in the legs of the chair, so I bought a convenient item.

The Imperial Japanese Army Fighter Ki 27 Type-97 Hasegawa 1/48

The Type-97 fighter has been completed. It was a fighter of the Imperial Japanese Army, and it was very active during the China Incident, the Nomonhan Incident, and the beginning of the Pacific War. About 3,400 units were produced. As for the gloss of the painted surface of the Type 97 fighter this time, I was able to do the airbrush painting as I liked.
