H-21C Shawnee “Flying Banana” Italeri 1/48

This marking is U.S. Army, 93rd Transport Company, Da Nang, Vietnam, 1963. The 1/48 scale is about 35 centimeters long. It's a tandem rotor with rotors on the front and back, so considering that the display space is much larger, it's awe-inspiring.

U.S. Navy Battleship BB-63 Missouri 1945 Tamiya 1/700

This is the US Navy battleship Missouri of Tamiya. There are various luxurious sets of Ship Yard Works such as deck seal, etched parts, masking sheet, and brass main gun barrel, so I used these parts. I chose the 1945 Major 22 Camouflage. In this case, the sides and top colors are different.

BATTLESHIP USA

Praga German Panzer Kpfw.38(t) Ausf. E/F Tristar 1/35

This 38(t) light tank was developed by Czechoslovakia to protect itself from Germany, the potential enemy, but it became a valuable weapon for the German army without ever having a fight with Germany. It was an excellent tank that supported the early German armored forces.

F-14A Tomcat Atlantic Fleet Squadrons Hasegawa 1/72

I made it with the U.S. Navy 31st Fighter Squadron VFA-31 "Tomcatters." It is characterized by the picture of the American cartoon character, Phillix with a bomb as a motif of a black cat. I used the 1/72 scale Air Craft Weapon III U.S. air-to-air missile set, sold separately by Hasegawa. 6 AIM-54 Phoenix and 2 AIM-9L Sidewinders.

Soviet Military Servicewomen 1939-1942 ICM 1/35

Soviet Military Servicewomen were completed. It might be interesting because we can change the arrangement. The mold is not as good as the Box art, but I think it is good. Perhaps ICM is the first company in the world to develop plastic model kits of women's underwear?

Tank Girls German Female Tank Crew Armor35 1/35

I finished painting the resin figure of a German female soldier. Well, it's like an erotic sci-fi fantasy figure. A female soldier's face is so small that it is very difficult to paint it compared to a male German tank soldier painted before. Considering the area covered by the hair, the eyes, nose, and mouth seem to be condensed in an area about half the size of a male German tank soldier of Tamiya.

German Pzkpfw. I Ausf. F VK18.01 Late type Hobby Boss 1/35

This Hobby Boss German Pzkpfw. I Ausf. F has a small number of parts and is easy to make. Is it all right to enjoy the unusual shape of this vehicle? Clamps are not very precise, so I used etched parts sold separately.

Stalker Post-apocalyptic Soldiers Evolution Miniatures 1/35

The resin figure assembly and painting are complete. It's not only Evolution Miniatures, but the resin figures have high mold accuracy and are easy to paint. It was a little expensive. I tried to use Aber etched parts as a strap for a firearm.

Soviet Heavy Tank Object 279 Panda Hobby 1/35

I built a Russian tank for the first time in a while. It's a Panda Hobby Object 279. This kit seems to be easy to build the body, so it's better to think of it as a kit to build a connecting track. I can't say it's high quality, but it looks pretty cool when completed.
