Match? Bandai 8 Ton.

The holes in the wheel don't look close enough to the edge. Looks like they should go right up to the rim.

And the spokes between are thinner.

Maybe Tamiya Chieftain 1/25, D29 from the backside, but maybe that‘s far fetched. I don’t have better reference and don‘t know about size, but # of spokes might match. Or not, just a wild guess.

Edit: I found this image on ebay for reference:

The Aurora Patton looks close. Looked at every other Patton I could find and none have this piece. So close...

 

[jcoffman99]

Here we go. Aurora M8 Carrier

 

[jcoffman99]

Here's where we are so far.

It sure looks like this piece could be part of this glob of parts.

 

[swgeek]

Sure looks like it.

Anyone happen to have the Otaki 1/600 Yamato? I have a size question.

 

[swgeek]

I have the retooled version, and some original parts. I might be able to answer your question.

I’m grasping at straws here but was wondering if cut down, how the Otaki part would fit on the Centurion.

 

[swgeek]

Oh that I have an original of. I'll look when I get home later.

Looks a little on the small side.

Lol. I figured. But thanks for checking. I looked at literally over 100 ship scans today. Nothing…

 

[swgeek]

Well that sounds familiar. There's another part out there that looks very similar, I just have to remember what it is.

 

[jcoffman99]

Added scans of the Bandai Messer, Tamiya Panzer II, and the AMT White Road Boss to everything.

 

[jcoffman99]

Might actually get to build today.

So a little trick that I find helps...If your molds are open face molds that are flat on the open side, you can sand the plastic flat with the back of the mold and eliminate most of the flashing.

Thanks! I’m going to redo the molds. I have another 8 Rad coming. Going to double up the parts so I can make more faster.
