Those both look like they bend inwards, which is correct for the outer circle.

You also have to watch out for the ones that are straight and don't have the texture in the rungs.

You mean part #35? Don’t they have slightly different dimensions?

Yes but at the end of the day with tired eyes it’s be real easy to glue the wrong one.
Added the Buffalo and Jeep Airfix set scans.
Any of you guys get the Hasegawa Yamato that went for 45 bucks on Sunday?
I saw that one too. The 45 dollar one said it was complete, but all the little pieces we want were missing from the pics. Hope someone got them.
That stinks.
I need just like two more pieces and I'll have all the topside mandible pits finished. Of course one is a crazy rare kit.
I'm waiting for a cast of it.
Added the German Tank 4 Type F2 Bandai | No. 0053466 | 1:15 to everything. Got a good deal on it. From Japan to my door in two days. That's crazy.
Am I correct that there are only two rungs on part 43 here?
Looks like three.
Here’s #3. I’m missing one part because I’m trying to mold it.
The ILM guys certainly had a bit of an unhealthy infatuation with the Sealab kit.
They were probably on sale. Lol
Getting ready for the next one.
John,
Nice clean work. Great job done on collecting the very small greeblies.
Plan a good insertion method that permits some tolerance to float these (8) completed units in all three directions when inside the mandible skin. Adjustment can be done when placing armor over the original skin holes measurements. In any case, piping geometry is rather fixed on armor surface. Those end points must connect to very specific kit part locations in the maintenance pits. Height of every pit wall has a key greeblie that defines that dimension. But, the pit wall inside diameter can be demanding when terminating piping when the puzzle is glued down in advance.
Allowance for elevation, rotation and horizontal X&Y coordinates was my lesson learned on this design. Constantly amazed on the care given by ILM folks when selecting and matching parts that look realistic and never see the Sun shine.

One more. I think I’m done for the day.

Thanks Searun. I had to go back to school today to recut a side wall because it was too tall. Those greeblies really help with the height.
