Sd.Kfz.251/1 Ausf.D Schützenpanzer German Half-Track AFV Club 1/35

It is a standard 251 half-track of AFV Club. The marking was the vehicle of the 2nd-SS Panzer Division "Das Reich". By the way, Das Reich is German meaning "nation". It was a vehicle around July 1944. In February 1944 Das Reich Division was reorganized and supplemented and it was transferred to the direction of Normandy from the Eastern Front.

Stryker M1128 U.S. Army Mobile Gun System MGS AFV Club 1/35

It is a Stryker M1128. This is an AFV club kit. This manufacturer's Stryker series has a little more parts, but it's easy to assemble. I liked the color of the AFV, but the way of weathering was not so good. It might be better not to get too dirty with Modern AFV.

German Anti-Aircraft Gun 8.8cm FLAK18 AFV Club 1/35

I matched the Dragon Artillery Figure to the 8.8 cm German Artillery of the AFV Club. I also tried to paint the anti-aircraft gun with winter camouflage to match the figure's winter equipment. It looks like white was painted on top of gray and partially peeled off.

U.S. Army 105mm Howitzer M2A1 AFV Club 1/35

It's a plastic model of a US military howitzer from the AFV Club. It is made luxuriously with a metal gun barrel. There are some etched parts, but the AFV club kit has small plastic parts and high accuracy. As expected, it is a manufacturer with a reputation for cannon kits.

Stryker M1134 U.S. Army Anti-Tank Guided Missile ATGM AFV Club 1/35

It is a Stryker armored vehicle equipped with guided missiles. I think the AFV Club Stryker kits are excellent. I also assembled a U.S. soldier figure of a Trumpeter, but this was more difficult. The decal was too old and deteriorated.

M41A3 Walker Bulldog U.S. Army Light Tank AFV Club 1/35

It is an AFV Club M41A3 Walker Bulldog light tank. Most of the tank plastic models of AFV Club have belt-type footwear, so this time I used a combination track kit of the same manufacturer. It's a light tank but surprisingly big.

sIG33 15cm German Heavy Infantry Artillery AFV Club 1/35

AFV Club's SIG33 15 cm German Heavy Infantry Artillery kit. The AFV Club has a reputation for its artillery kits. I like artillery kits because the parts are fine and mechanical. Small decals are also prepared for shells.
