Wow!And this is S.S or is it a tad smaller? I wonder what the price tag will be for this baby?

SS Scale yes. Price tag, we haven't talked about that yet. Depends a bit on the production costs.
This one ticket I will be buying as soon as its off the rails & in the shop window.
Some things are worth the wait & this is one of them, super super stuff Moe
Quick update.
Some parts are wrapped and ready to be shipped out to Frank.
Just waiting till next week due Christmas time.
Been working on instructions.
Anybody have Tamiya 1/350 Bismarck and Hasegawa 1/72 Long Tom and willing to sponsor some parts??
I have a question regarding the intake, specifically the protruding section in the center edge. Is this a cover for a forward mounting point? Because I΄ve seen photos of the same model with the step in the edge and without. Is this an extra part on your model? It doesn΄t look that way but maybe it΄s just a very tight fit. And do the pencil lines mark the rectangular cutouts in the center plate?
Too bad I΄ve already got the 1/24 B-Wing, your kit would have saved me a lot of work of fixing errors, while all the basic shapes are incorrect to start with. Your master looks excellent!
It's simple, Ive made a new one. I suppose it's a cover for forward mounting, on my old masters I didn't make the protruding section, but now I have.
That part can't be pulled out on my masters, something for the build to make. Pencil lines are just pencil lines, no reason for those to be there, maybe the lines where there before I cut it.

Hi Moe,
I have a Long Tom if you still need it. PM me.
Cheers, JT
Rats - thanks, but I have bought it myself.
Some more help please, parts colored,...
I have no idea what they are from.
Im sure the third part to the right, is an F1 battery top Moe?
lee
Or motorcycle? I took a cruise through this site today, but couldn't find anything:
Hobby Search Model Car Store
Wasn't this kit on shelves around ROTJ time? I was looking through it for any familiar shapes (Tamiya Kawasaki 1/6 scale Z 1300). It's kind of hazy in the background of an ILM shop pic. It seems to be Tamiya Kawasaki, but I'm not sure if it's this one:
Kawasaki Z1300 (Model Car) 15%OFF Tamiya 1/6 Big Scale Motorcycle|No.19
For instance, this is the battery top for that bike. Wrong part, but maybe the right direction.
And the second pic reminds me of that gun base that you show on the left. Strange shape. Again, wrong part but maybe correct direction. This part is off of the harley with side car on the second page of 1/6 motorcycles. The part I'm talking about is the flared part.
Scott, yes there was a Kawasaki used in ROTJ, on the ATST, i found it, and i cant recall, what kit, think it was a black bike......im getting on a bit mate...memory is hazy.
Could be a bike battery yes, but id check all the big Ferrari's too, seeing as they loan out a few parts to the B wing.

Midnight Special is the next one on the 1/6 bikes listed on that site. I've seen it mentioned before as a source for another studio scale model.
Thats the one Scott, i found it used on the ATST neck base.Scott Graham said:

Moe, ive not got my B wing ref in this computer, can you post the wing tip gun pic, non shaded?
lee
Sure Lee
thanks for the input, I have decided to scratch it. Nearly the only thing I need to build, so I guess a scratch will do.
Here is the pic no shaded
They used the Kawasaki Z1300 Tourer on the ROTJ AT-ST (anyway that's what I used, the regular Z1300 looks to have the same brake disk) and on the Lambda Shuttle (not sure if the regular Z1300 would do the trick for this one), but they also used plenty of other 1/6 Tamiya motorcycles, mainly to details props (helmets : Scout Trooper etc).
