Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID'sNew Maps at start of thread

Rodmart85 · 12-27-2011, 06:43 AM

Well done Martyn!
I Ided this part of the maint pits the other day, couldn't believe I had the kit for so long without noticing it! Cool!

Also Ideed one of the missing parts you can see in the black & white pics.
In between the Tamiya Chieftain suspension parts resting inside the Centurion chasis you can see the front landing gear of the Revell 1/32 Phantom now missing.

Tsophika · 12-27-2011, 07:48 AM

...and these are 1/48 Bandai Tiger.

Nwerke · 12-27-2011, 08:31 AM

Nice going Rod and Craig. Rod, so glad to see that Harrow part. Did you take the "god, they MUST have used this!" approach?

I am not sure about the Phantom part. I was looking at that a while back and thinking 'well, yes, it's 1/32 jet', but I recall thinking it wasn't Phantom for some reason. Something to do with the scissor links IIRC. It WAS my first thought though...better have another look...

MonsieurTox · 12-27-2011, 08:39 AM

Tamiya 1/700 Enterprise

BlackPig · 12-27-2011, 09:06 AM

Hey guys !

I posted about there already at #297.

Yes, you did! Didn't check my IDs folder... anyway nice find, Rod.

MonsieurTox · 12-27-2011, 03:29 PM

Haha sorry BP

That's hard to follow without updating partmaps lol

Martyn, i am pretty sure it is the F4 front landing gear, you can se even one of the pins used to hold some other parts of the gear. I am pretty familiar with the F4. I had to get 3 for the X-Wing revisited

Gort · 12-28-2011, 04:01 AM

I hear you Julien. I promise I've started to pull together the info that's now bulging out of this thread. I'm aware that if we don't have a decent set of updated maps we risk re-inventing the wheel, as the info is strung out across so many pages now.

Hope you guys all had a great Christmas

Nick,
The docking ring map I did was mostly so I could scale my 3D Falcon. If it would help I can shoot you the .PSD file.

Craig

Gort · 12-28-2011, 01:18 PM

Hi Craig,

Actually that would be great if you could. You did such a nice job I was going to make it the new MF001 as there's not much point in me retreading the same ground. I'll put your name to it of course

my email is edge_of_resin@btinternet.com

Cheers
Nick

Hey you guys, Tamiya 1/35 StuG III Ausf G = GOLD MINE. Pics soon as I finish photoshopping.

Edit: pics, whee. Pretty sure the Hurricane part was already found, am losing track (hurry up, Nick!)

Rodmart85 · 12-30-2011, 12:53 PM

Nicely done Martyn!
Cool finds!!
I think it's OK if we repeat ourselves from time to time with some parts, they are to many to keep them in mind and it is useful to keep refreshing the memory

crackerjazz · 12-30-2011, 01:08 PM

Hi guys, could this grille be from the Elefant? The photo I got was a 1/72 but the bigger scale Elefant might be a match?

eagle1 · 12-30-2011, 04:25 PM

Already ID as from the Italeri 1/35th Elefant. Comes as a separate part away from the main hull.

Nwerke · 12-30-2011, 09:04 PM

Cheers Rod. I'll scan the StuG and post it up - I was knackered last night from work in the yard, and I *know* I've missed parts.

It's pretty evident that the ILM guys were poring over their kit boxes, at times. Where you find one part from a given kit, you often find several others nearby - I find it is useful to keep that in mind.

eagle1 · 12-30-2011, 11:34 PM

Yeah, thats good thinking Martyn, I'd thought the same too & often proves the case.
Oh, great finds again mate, your'e killing my wallet!.

Tsophika · 12-31-2011, 12:11 AM

Cool, Martyn! I actually just modeled those little brackets on top of the docking ring. Now I know where they came from! I love those little 'trivial' bits that seem generic to find.

Nwerke · 12-31-2011, 03:39 AM

Yup yup yup, ditto! Funny thing though, there's about three kits' worth on there - you only get four or so in the kit. And I see no sign elsewhere that more than one StuG was used. Just that - go figure.

Yes but it was used on other models as well.

Rodmart85 · 12-31-2011, 07:40 AM

Yeah that detail on the Y-Wing's butt comes from the Stug III G!
You have been doing a terrific work Martyn!
Here is a summary of the BMW R75 parts I have found on the 5Footer, still looking for more bits.
Today I got the Fujimi 1/76 Valentine, I'll upload Kit scans later to Simon's kit scan thread.
Does somebody know where this part comes from

BlackPig · 12-31-2011, 09:32 AM

Happy new year!!

Hey Rod! It's from Bandai's 1/48 aircraft kit.

Thanks BP! You rock! Your Nichimo scans are great! I searched the web for info in those kits and never found anything! So thanks!

A HAPPY NEW YEAR for all the cool people in the RPF and to the brotherhood of the Falcon

jedimaster · 12-31-2011, 05:09 PM

Stella job guy's keep it up. I'll have a ton more kit scans up over the next week as I box them up to send away. Hope they help. Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing some falcons this year. Happy New year!

Simon.

Nwerke · 12-31-2011, 08:47 PM

Julien, yeh I know, but peculiar they used only one (mostly) on the Falcon *except for those tiny pieces*. As a late build I guess they'd *already* grabbed the best stuff out of the other kit boxes!

Rod, I think there's some new finds among your R75 stuff, good roundup and well done on the new finds. And as BP says, Bandai 1/48 - that's a Lycoming flat four I think? There are other 1/48 Bandai bits too IIRC, still waiting on some kits, will post after they arrive.

HNY to you guys too!
