Notes

One of the F-Toys kits I recently picked up in Tokyo: F-Toys Wing Kit Collection 18. Each box includes one of 9 designs (a “mystery”) -

  • Kyushu J7W Shinden - 2 versions
  • Kawasaki Ki-61-II - 4 versions
  • P-51H - 3 versions

Build Log

These kits are so good it must be cheating. Details are great for the scale; parts are pre-painted but can repaint and weather as you like.. or just take them as quick 2-hour builds just for fun!

I think these will be showing up in some dioramas later..

LEAP is just my personal collection of projects, usually involving an Arduino or other microprocessor in one way or another. Some are full-blown projects, while many are trivial breadboard experiments, intended to learn and explore something interesting (IMHO!).
