Re: 32" Falcon Progress/ more newer pics page 7

Yes that's definitely not from the Chevy !

That's true Phil, the M16/M3A1/Chevy parts can be used as replacement but maybe this kit gives more parts for the MF or more probably for other TESB models ! If I cant spot the right kit, I'll use the M16/M3A1 part as it looks better to me from the top...

That's definitely a differential, I looked at all the truck/car kits produced by Tamiya before 1980 and I havent find it yet. Maybe from another manufacturer...

The yellow part could be from a Matilda?

Good question... I don't know. I can post some pics to Studio Scale Modelers so you can compare when the A1 arrives... I'd like to know too.

the M60A1 has some parts such as the vents on the bottom / rear of the falcon but it does not have these as shown on the sidewall photo.
Better off just getting the M60A2 & you should be in good shape (its on the more expensive side of 1/35 Tamiya kits)

I can post some pics if you want.

The blue arrow is also from the M60A2, except not too sure what that shovel shaped part is.

The 6 pieces with holes in them (3 on top, 3 on bottom) are likely to be M60A2 as well.

Well I guess I'll have to find a A2, not an easy task ! :lol

Pink arrow is from the Tamiya Scharnhorst, same part is used under the M60 part as well.

Hey Kbilly, yes please, pics would be great :cool

As for the yellow part, it looks like the airfix matilda part, but maybe they've cut those little notches into it..? cos they're not in the the part straight from the box. Unless it's not airfix...

Cheers

Re: 32" Falcon Progress/ more newer pics page 7

Also...does the tamiya matilda sidewall go underneath the m60 parts, or does it cut off straight after? I can't find a good clear shot of what's going on behind there..

Again, if there are some nice piccys out there I'd love to see 'em..:love

Arrgghh

If Jase gets the Studio Scale Modelers website back up and running I'll post there this weekend. Otherwise I'll PM you some pics.

The matilda was just a guess, there's not a lot to go on with that one

I suspect the Matilda doesn't go under the M60 but I don't have a good shot of that side either.

Hi everyone,

mastergod, new member from friendly Norway here - I stumbled upon this site yesterday, looking for "Life Aquatic" prop reps - and have to say that I am totally stoked by the skills and ideas on this forum!

This Falcon project is super amazing and I look forward to following this and other threads here on RPF.

Thanks!
