When looking back, it’s five years ago when I started to build this Ki-61ii model. Now someone calls this project a “Never-ending-building”. I’m not sure, but… it might not necessarily be so ? Started the work for the landing light. The hole for it looks “Bean”-shaped. A bit hard to see, but you can see the bulb and the shade. The shade was made with heat-press, and the bulb was scratched out of a clear plastic rod. The bulb and the shade of Ki-61ii #17 at Kakamigahara Aerospace Museum. The rear view of the light. You can confirm how the hole shape looks and …

Ditching a dreary work as usual, when I was having a smoke as usual at the usual place out of the office, I found a hornworm on the wooden bench surrounding the shrubbery beside the stand ashtray, heading for the bench’s rim slowly and slowly at incredibly low speed about 5 centimeters per minute.

With being afraid a bit if someone would sit on him without noticing, I threw …
