The final stage of World War II is a figure set on the theme of the Berlin offense. It is an old kit with three lively pose figures, and the other is wearing an overcoat in winter.
I bought this Dragon Models plastic figure model, mail order, but for some reason, it was in a plastic bag instead of a box. Box art and the assembly instructions were also copied on paper. I have never seen the injection plastic molding color. I hope this is not a copying product. It is not an illegal copy product because it is an old and inexpensive item as a small packet of a military figure of Dragon Models.
I guess the contact points between the hand and the rifle look natural enough without any adjustment. Building fingers is tricky, and shaping with epoxy paste is also difficult.
When I tried putting their hair on the skinheads, it felt too bulky as an Afro haircut and bushy from the helmet.
Pitroca, the Soviet army’s side cap, some of the figure is wearing it. There are three figures of Rupasika-type field uniform. When this figure puts on the rear of a tank like a package, it seems realistic.
Here is the perfect protection against cold weather. His head is warm with an Ushanka hat.
The other day, after jogging, when I was handling the clear epoxy resin wearing only shorts, I removed the inner lid, and the curing agent spilled on my thigh. After a while, I had sore, red, and itchy thighs. Pretty surprised. I washed my thighs in a hurry and washed my clothes. It was unexpected trouble trying to make a clear headlight. My thigh was cured in a few hours, but I must be careful.
I blew fresh on figure faces.

For the time being, I made a Soviet army mechanized infantry set of Dragon. Four figures are included, and each seems not to be so relevant. Naturally, two figures who are crouching are displayed together.
This short machine gun was also called Balalaika. It is a standing soldier who holds PPSh-41 as a typical short machine gun of the Soviet army. Is it possible to shoot barrage fire by the drum magazines with many bullets?
But this soldier has a regular magazine, unlike a soldier in a crouching pose.
Depending on the angle, it looks like a fighting spirit or not. This angle seems to be serious.
Because this soldier is a forwardly tilted posture and cannot be fixed unless, in a diorama, I fixed it with the glue that peels off easily, his hair is growing too long, but sometimes there may be that kind of soldier.
I replaced all four heads, so it was easier to paint the detailed molds than the original injection kit. I shaped my design knife for the mold of the military uniform, which is not so good, and not enough parts were shaded with paint.
I put them on the back of the SU-122 now I’m making it. This assault gun may not effectively shield because the AFV height is low. The one hiding behind the turret of T-34 will be best.
Mechanized infantry is an image that is a somewhat terrible strong group, but in short, it is an infantry unit with enhanced movement speed by riding in cars such as trucks and armored cars. Because it consumes gasoline quickly and requires refilling, it is a branch of the army that needs to be paid attention to.
Regarding mobility, the cavalry played a central role in the past. There is a memory that Ryotaro Shiba’s “Clouds above the Hill: A Historical Novel of the Russo-Japanese War” had a story written on the cavalry quite a bit. I think it’s a very nice novel.
Since the insignia of the Soviet army infantry can not rely on decals, I drew it with a fine brush. If I get used to it, it will be painted as well.
It is a pretty cool view when arranging two-tank desants.
Soldiers who protected their homeland shouldered a red star. Soldiers painted with Mr. Color’s aqueous hobby colors are half-gloss or gloss, so it is surprisingly difficult to adjust with gloss erasing coating later. Because I wouldn’t say I like the brush painting of the water paint in the first place, the Tamiya SU-122 tank crew, now I’m making is planning to paint it with enamel paint from the beginning. I can not figure out the paint finish very much, but it is an interesting genre that I make. I do not improve figure painting forever, but it is an interesting genre.
