Hohenstaufen The 9th SS Panzer Div. Normandy 1944 Dragon 1/35

Dragon Gen2 series figurines, kits for the German Army's 9th SS Armored Division, also known as the Hohenstaufen Division. Since it's Gen 2, not only is the mold good, but when you wear a camouflage smock, the feeling of the end of the war comes out well.

It's a Platz Texan trainer. It seems like the Air Self-Defense Force and the Maritime Self-Defense Force's Texans are included in the F-Toys Convention's Japanese Wing Collection 4 series. I wonder if this is for people who assemble and paint by themselves.

U.S. Jeep Crew And MP Miniart 1/35

A Miniart Jeep crew and MP figure set. As for painting uniforms for U.S. infantry, even if there are orders to paint various kits in the past, they are quite different, so I'm worried about it. If you feel comfortable with the colors you are familiar with in movies and dramas, it might be good.
