What part (s) come from the Bandai 1:24 Panther G? Are they on Red Jammer only? Is it worth trying/hoping to scare one up?

When I had my kits I had most of the Y covered, and a few remaining conspicuous parts were from kits I knew, not the Panther G. It seemed as though whatever part is in that kit must be insignificant enough, like being tiny, mostly hidden, or on only one variant, to not bother.

Not really sure, but this is the only part that I see that could maybe from that kit. The elbow on the underside by the mount point.

I should add, I'm only saying it looks like it. I have no idea if it is.

On the Ladd Y, there is an instrument panel piece from the bandai 1/24 on the right rear upper area. That's the only part I've noticed coming from it.

If its this, its the 1/48 Panther G

Which half, top or bottom, of the L'Eggs egg is used for the rear vectrals?

The bottom.

How much is cut off of the L'Eggs upper egg? I estimated from photos that, minus the lip, 1/2" is cut off, making it 1.75" tall.

How far inside the Saturn V tube does the cone-shaped shaped piece sit, and how far outside of it does the thrust nozzles begin?

Can anyone who has the LS Morgan post measurements of the width and height of the 'oil pan' part that has the bolts on it?

Just to note again: I'm asking for everyone, while trying to work these measures out as well. This information is needed to build a Y and I don't see it discussed much.

As far the first question, that's anyone guess, someone posted they had calipers all over it....been pretty quite since.

Awesome, thanks!

Hmm... I guess I don't know how to read those. .038? I guessed it at close to 1/2" a while back, at least the gap on the fuselage it fits in.

I've mated up most of the parts top/bottom /left side to your original 3D. I can send you a picture if you'd like.

 

[Flintlock]

Yes, please do.

Here's the imperial measurements

Hammer, your 'background' choice confused me initially (I thought you were engaging in a bit of word play...) but then I saw the parts in the jaws. Call me sluggish, eh?
