Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's

Check out the Airfix 1/24 Mustang I recall they come from there. Studioscale has a scan pf the kit parts.

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's

Yeah the piece next to the Harrow is a trimmed-down P51 part.

Has anyone IDd the plate set into the 232 chassis itself?

Julien, is that ID confirmed? Definitely not 1/48 Hetzer?

Simon, THAT piece looks loco!

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's

That's the piece I meant earlier. Could ya look in ya loco stash? Its not the harrow.

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's

Hi Simon
The part you think is from a Loco ( I thought the same myself, realy a sin for a P-51 Mustang enthusiast like myself:thumbsdown) is the rear landing gear of the Airfix 1/24 P-51D or K just as MonsieurTox pointed out.
Several parts of the P-51 are used on the 5 footer including two of them on the Kettenkrad 8-rad scratch, here are some pics I made for some of the Mustang donor parts:

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's

Nice maps Rodmart !

Yeah Martyn, I'm sure those are from the Nichimo King Tiger/Jagdtiger (I built this assembly for my Y-Wing, it's used under the wings).

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's

Thanks Julien, saved some bother, one of the old Y-wing refs I had in my stash indicated Bandai. I'm only just realizing just how much of the Falcon detail is cast from what had to have been repurposed Y-wing moulds. Model archaeology!

Simon, don't throw away the bits you'll need to trim off the P-51 tailwheel leg, you might need them some day. What's the story with the K-rad engines - you gonna do them as build ups? Might as well use the original bits IMO - won't need 'em intact anywhere else anyway. If you don't want to cut up good ones you can use my rekitted one, will just need a couple of scars cleaned up.

Also, gonna sacrifice those 232 sidewalls and 25pdr parts or what? Are you serious about this or not? Get chopping, man! :lol

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's

Yeah , I'm just waiting till I get the Nichimo tank tracks and Bandai messer then I'll cast them up a la ILM. That way they can be used all over this bird as in Rod's pix above. I def aint buying another K-Krad. The blue casts are just for messin around with at this stage.

Oh I got ya the hurricane, scammel, and hanomag today.

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's

Ta man, will spot you tomorrow then. Thought you said you had a hurricane though? Or was that the P-51 you meant? Never mind, more the merrier.

Just got my Wankel in. Cheapie part-built but perfectly good for this. Of course only now do I realize you need two of them! And the second one gets cut up for about four small pieces. Sheesh.

Why did I think that plate on the 232 was a separate part this morning???!??!? Painkillers, that's why. :unsure

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's

Hey .... Just paid for my second wankel today! I do have a hurricane but was going to cast the wing and cut that.

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's

Hey Rod... In your first pic. The part in front of the 8rad piece that the pipe goes into. Is that the M113 part?

[/IMG]

 

[Nwerke]

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's

Looks like. Or M577 in this case, same thing.

BTW just kidding about the tailwheel leg, it's the opposite side part versus the Y-wing one which is used in the maintenance pit anyway.

 

[jedimaster]

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's

Also does anyone know what the cylinder head / rocker cover thinghy above the harrow part is? This is off my y kit.

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's

1/48 Bandai Tiger I I believe.

 

[jedimaster]

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's

Thanks Julien.

 

[Rodmart85]

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's

Yes, Julien is right. It is from a sprue that is the same in many Bandai 1/48 german tanks. I got that part from the Bandai JagdPanther 1/48 which is a donnor kit for the rear acces bay, you've got the whole hull of the JagdPanther there.

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's

Can anyone help me with this parts?
