Well from what i can find online, it IS a case of differences between Hero and Pyro models, NOT a case of just differing details.
I did find a pic of a screen used hatch, bearing 10 centre panels, so clearly, the eFX is fully modeled on a Hero, and Genes hatch, a tad shrunken, and in Pyro guise.

Thanks for posting the additional picture. No replica is going to be 100% perfect. I get that. I was just curious and you have to admit that this is a room full of anal-retentive people. :lol
Thank you very much for the update and the great pics.
This replica will rock !!! It is amazing !
In my little opion, it is OK to mention those small differences. It is, what comes with this hobby: To try making or getting the "perfect" replica.
I see no problem in doing both: Looking for differences and still praising this fantastic replica. I am looking forward to it and I am full of anticipating joy !
THANK YOU VERY MUCH and MY HIGHEST COMPLIMENTS to everyone involved !!!!!!
Ok, there is stll one thing that needs to be fixed: The large gap between two of them. But I am sure Vaders Tie will come...
Hey Lee,If you look at Gene's hatch the center piece with the Hetzer part was replaced.It looks like it was put in a little to much to the rear.If you look in front of the Hetzar piece,there's a little part of the block left that the 8rad part sits on.
If you look between center blocks 5&6 you can see part of a block.

PS - I did measure some of the little chips. One was off by about .75mm And one part looked differently. Chalk it up to the difference of my hatch part being a casting (maybe even a pyro casting (which is another step removed from the original)) and the parts on the eFX TIE being derived from actual kit parts.
PPS - the TIE's are back in Bryan's hands now, so I can't do any more comparison photos.........
.75mm. That's like one foot at this scale. :lol

Internet posts and email often have a way of stripping the true meaning of a message. I think your message is one of jest and you were trying to point out the relative insignificance of the difference? Or not?? Nonetheless, let's get the math correct:.75mm. That's like one foot at this scale. :lol

What are these, about 1/24th scale? In the "real" world, that 0.75mm is about 1/30th of an inch. in the "1/24th scale" world, it works out to be just about 0.80 inch. Far, far less than "one foot at this scale."
Did a small comparison pic (against the Vader TIE). The rivets and overall details looks the same IMO. The repaired part sits different and changes the set up slightly. Just my 2 cents, but it looks like its the same.
