1-144 JASDF Commemorative Schemes Vol.2 - F-Toys

A new set of JASDF Commemorative Schemes, which although look like repaints of previously issued machines actually contains a new mold of the F-4EJ (as stated on the website) - I think that from this statement we can be guaranteed of more F-4EJ releases in the future from F-TOYS

1/144 F-Toys Select Vol.1

A curious new release is coming to light from F-Toys, currently I don't think it will set to many peoples world alight, but for some collectors who have to have every X or Y should be in for a treat!?

We may need to wait until we see a) any further images, b) clearer images, I say this as some look like the alternate decals from the original issues, others either perhaps not, or I don't have the kits to check.
