The re-designed board for the AMT/ Revell model is going to be big. About three times the size of the original kind of big. If it was up to me, the size would not have changed much compared to the original. However, if I were to give this board to someone who does not know how to solder nor know electronics, I might as well not have given it in the first place. Yes, there would be a lot of cramped soldering involving wires. In the end, to make things simpler, I had to use a slightly costlier solution…
PUSH-IN SCREWLESS SPRING TERMINAL BLOCK
These terminal blocks are a much better solution than the usual screw terminals which cut wires if you’re too forceful with the screwdriver. With these terminals, all you need to do is to push the orange lever to unlock the spring, push in the wire and then release the lever to lock it. It is that simple and there is no soldering required. The concept was first used when I designed the (yet to be released) PCB for the Fujimi Blade Runner Spinner years ago.
You owuld need to drill out the 2mm holes from under the plastic ceiling.
