That part doesn't look like it would have another half to it.

True Michael, it is an odd shape, but, to be an actual antennae from a kit, hmm thats one BIG kit lol.
Maybe its not a kit part at all, could be scratchbuilt for the hell of it, looks to be white in media going by the scuff on the front, possibly just vac formed styrene....tricky!

I'm interested in the boards.

This is a awesome thread.Thank you for sharing.

ralphee · 11-30-2009, 09:58 AM

Hmm anyone got any more pics of the back of this one? Looks like there are some nice finds to be had in the rear of the cockpit bulkhead too.

They come in single rows of four in the kit.

Next door to these louvres, is that a winch? Ive checked the M16 but thats too short, does look like a winch half though, but im not an expert in 1/35 winches

Scott Graham · 11-30-2009, 11:04 AM

Yes, that's what I think it is too. The only one I've seen are the half track winches. Can't provide any more info yet...

It would have to be around 60mm long or so.

ralphee · 12-01-2009, 02:12 AM

Yup thats a whopper at 60mm bro, hmm im still on the fence its a kit part, but, you never know what could happen in this loopy game lol.

I dont know about the rounded bulge behind the cockpit, but heres another part for you.

Bookman · 12-01-2009, 08:35 PM

Greetings!

This is a fantastic thread! I might actually have most of the parts for an A-wing!

Back to the Probe Droid, does anyone have an ID on this part:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Guy Cowen · 12-02-2009, 08:14 AM

Looks like the Gepard is a fav on this build, got another one but it could be one of 2 but I Think its Gepard part C8?

Scott Graham · 12-02-2009, 09:19 AM

This part reminds me of F1 brake calipers.

The part behind it looks like a hatch lid (probably obvious, but...)

Just want to add that the hatch looks like the inside and on the right side of it, there are what appear to be 2 handles like on tank hatches

ralphee · 12-02-2009, 10:27 AM

Thats the one Guy, its next to what is i think a Churchill gun barrell buddy.
Another one, from the 8rad, its the same part i had to trim for my TESB pod.

lee

Guy Cowen · 12-02-2009, 11:23 AM

Great work Lee, where getting there bud.

Found a Churchill Croc part but am guessing at the license plate? it would seem the 8 Rad hinges are used on the under side as well?

ralphee · 12-02-2009, 11:27 AM

Licence plate is from the 8rad Guy

lee

ralphee · 12-02-2009, 11:32 AM

Another Gepard part Guy, top hull, front right of the canopy, there is a pipe, with two rectangle shaped parts either end (dark plastic), front part is from the Gepard buddy.
Id photoshop it, but my Virgin Media internet has been on the fritz now for two weeks, and it just took another header, so uploads are impossible lol.

lee

ralphee · 12-02-2009, 12:49 PM

Top right hull Guy, there is a hatch part, with a round cut in for access to the armature screw???????
Tamiya Churchill buddy seems to fit the bill well, sadly, still cant upload photos, and now, my cable TV has gone off, as it has for the whole Bham area lol....this has been going on for almost three weeks now, and im considering, slowly strangling the next tech i talk to there

Bookman · 12-02-2009, 01:50 PM

Hey!

All this looking at A-Wing donor parts has resulted in my discovery of the PD donor part I was looking for in my original post!

Tamiya Crocodile, C30, cut from the end (if anyone was interested).

It's madness I tell ya, just madness!

-David

Scott Graham · 12-02-2009, 03:30 PM

I knew that was a gun barrel. It's definitely got the churchill croc muzzle brake on the end - that round part of it. Great job guys!

Ace mate, double bubble as we say in the UK.

I may split the threads as its all gone a bit A wing mad but I do want to concentrate on the PD as well as i want to upgrade my kit as much as possible.

ralphee · 12-03-2009, 02:05 AM

Guy

The plate with the cut out for the Hex screw, thats Churchill, im pretty sure bud, not Gepard!
