Hey Frank, Just wondered if you got the email
Thanks

Hey Guys, just a few more pics of my recent progress..
I can't say that this is 100% accurate, but there are a few correct parts lying about in these pits..this goes for all of it really, I know I'll never find every part, so I'm just gonna do what I can..
This is the front of the dish, the area that's almost hidden between the jaw boxes.
Underside rear boxy bits.
A top pic with the rear deck added.
Turrets started
And finished, apart form the windows, they're gonna be a pig to make, I can see it coming..
Anyway that's it for now...
Cheers
Phil

Hmm, tried to change the title a bit to point to page six..
See if it works this time
Phil
Now that is looking sweet mate, It's coming along nicely!.
Do I spot some RE-20 turbo parts in there lol?. Very clean and tidy buildup I must say!. Much more satisfaction building her than aquiring a MR one me thinks.
Keep it up dude, lookin forward to more of your progress.
Stu
That is sweet indeed. That is crazy Kool man!!!!!
I'm only 45 mins away from Leeds let me know when visiting hours are open? Just stunning Phil.
This is coming along great. It is looking brilliant so far.
Chris
It looks great~!
Friend, I wonder if you can give me some information for circled part?

Thanks for the kind words again guys,
Just to answer that kit part question, it's from a 1/12th tamiya ferrari, this kit..
I can't remember the actual kit number, this kit along with the 1/12th renault that Stu mentioned, have been sitting in my Mum's garage for years gradually falling apart. I thought I'd strip 'em down and use them for this build.
I don't have the plans anymore, so I can't give the part number, but here's a close up of the remains of the part and where it goes on the side of the engine.
I think this engine's used on the Bwing too..
As I say, this is not an accurate part for the 32", but I just thought it looked ok so stuck it on.
I hope that helps and if it turns out to be a part not discovered yet I'd be very pleased to have found something that could be new..
Cheers
Phil

Its actually a 312t4 guys! Phil, not heard from you on anything other parts needed bud, but, if you want me to send what ive got boxed i can do so now...but if there is anything you need adding, shoot me a PM or whatever bud.
Great work anyway, this is really starting to shine, your work is exceptional!

Hey guys
I think I've asked this before, but I thought I'd ask again to anyone who hasn't seen these. Could anyone help me ID any of these parts, or any spare castings that may be lying around would be most welcome.
...it's the spoilers-flaps, fins and connecting stuff I really need.
This vent area has me beat too..is it that coolshade stuff ?
I thought these wheels ?...well, I think they're wheels, who knows ?..were from the 1/72 airfix panther, but nope..I was all ready to stick 'em on too..
Any help would be great
Cheers
Phil

Just want to say this is amazing how you're doing this completely from the ground up. Great work!
the tail part standing up is a bandai 1/15 hummel part,this kit is very expensive
the fins that are flat on the hull are a F1 tail fin,but i cant remenber the maker?
here's a great site for parts list with pics http://www.studioscale.com/kitscans.htm
keep up the good work!
Hey DLT, I dunno if they're from the 1/15th hummel,.they might be a bit too big.. I think these 1/15th parts were used on the 5 footer. Was there a smaller scale hummel ?
Thanks for the kind words from all up to now
Phil
Phil, top left part circled is from the Tamiya 1/35th British 25PDR Field Gun, other half on the right side also, not sure about the rest, couldn't ID any of the other circled parts from this kit, just looked through, which happens to be the Gun and Quad Tractor boxed set!.
Stu
Fantastic work Phil!!! I love seeing all the updates on your thread.....way to go, keep up the great work!
Man, it's been years since I last saw you, in the days of the UKG....hope to catch up with you again one day buddy.
Chris

Did you get the email i send you?
Just realised the left circled part under the 25PDR gun part is from the Tamiya 1/35th Hanomag Sdkfz251/1.
Stu
The 1/15 hummel fins are definitely too big. They should come from the 1/30 bandai hummel but not sure, since I don't have this kit.
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]Don't know if this helps, but you know those images that change (reflect) as you move them to simulate movement? Sometimes they're on kid's stickers and book covers. I'm certainly no Falcon expert, but if you run out of ideas, you could probably paint the texture of one of those stickers gray and see similar grading with weathering. Looks like whatever it is, is framed in styrene strips (front & back). Granted, the 5-footer looks like actual venting, whereas the 32" looks like a solid material.[/FONT][/COLOR]
...just stirring the idea pot.

Wow!Its looking really great.I'm not too familiar with falcon donar parts, with the exception of some of what Frank has mentioned. The 1/30 Hummel is a doozy to buy and find.Sadly I had one years back but sold it to someone in here.Dragon makes a 1/35 Hummel,and aside from the fin being a tad smaller,it is more finely detailed. I believe Moe scratch built his and made castings.The flat spolers I thought were from an Aroura armor kit with a dozer blade attached,but I am probably mistaken.It was a very off scale,1/32 or something like that?The small block I thought came from a 1/9 Ketenkrad and the struts I though had come from a 1/24 Messerschmitt or Mustang be it Airfix or Bandai?That's about all I can really recall?
