XWing Parts Maps

[Scott Graham]

Next to the cannons is a part of engine deck from Tamiya's m4a3e8 in 1/35 scale. Larger kit.

Here is the Hasegawa part, the centre of which is used on the cannon body.

Yes. Hasegawa small scale sherman m4a3e8.

Does anyone still frequent this thread to gather reference? I noticed that they never posted a parts map for theEngines, Cannons, Cockpit & Fuselage were never posted.

Anyone who stumbles upon this happen to know where a reliable source for those parts can be found for reference?

Enohado , try the SSM forums. The maps you seek are still posted there. If you're not a member yet, look up Studio Scale Models on Facebook.

Hi Enohado.

I made this parts map (PDF) a few years ago. It is not complete, but I hope you find it useful.
I also put some images of parts maps that were very helpful to me.

Best regards.

Great share, Rafa!

Wow, Rafa!
You did it again...
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your mythical tie bomber parts map.
That pdf changed my life!
Un abrazo desde Valencia!

Does anyone know what the 5 plugs for the electronics on the side are?
Any modern equivalents?

Thank you

I just used brass tubing to replicate it.

 

[Bjorn]

I would have thought that they were just brass or copper tube.

There are now a variety of small round gold plated connectors used for electric rc model aircraft that are somewhat similar.

I known them as bullet or banana plugs.

K&S style tube is probably more authentic though.

I should add, excellent, ID work in this thread! A big thank you to the amazing pioneers here!

That is what I was thinking they were, banana plugs. Ty

This image was posted by Jason. I couldn't find the correct female plugs before my X-Wing was finished but I'm interested in what were used for X-Wings.

 

[Jkirkon]

I imagine they originally used the female end of the connectors. The female connectors would be made from a thinner gauge brass, but I think brass tube looks the part well enough, though.

 

[Bjorn]

Great shot from Jason, jeez he has some great references...

Yes, it appears they a small bullet/banana connectors.

Awesome!

Sorry, I forgot to post this.

This is what I am planning on using. Not sure the exact size as I haven’t gotten to that part of my build. They are detail parts for Gundam models. Not studio accurate, but I think they look better.

Anyone know why the Droid strip map has 9 parts, but the list underneath has 14.

That first one is my map. However, it looks like Jason used text from a older map he had on SSM. Same parts but that other map had different a different numbering pattern.

Thanks I figured it was something like that. I know my eyes are bad, but knew they weren't that bad, ; )
