Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's
Hi everyone
Thanks BP!!
thumbsup:thumbsup
It seems to me that the part matches, both have seven layers. Now it just have to be the right size. Thanks for the info BP.
Hi Treadwell
What might have happened is that I "free transformed" -PS- several falcon pictures to fit a flat perspective of the side panels to have an idea of what kind of parts too look for to enhance my AMT Falcon.
On an other hand, some kits on the falcon seem to be resin casts filled in with several layers of paint just as Asemblyrequired mentioned, what could explain some loss of definition on some parts in relation with it's original counterpart.
I will soon post more Id's of Centurion and Kettengrad parts:cool see ya!

Hi Treadwell
As far as I know this kit has not been retooled by Airfix, it's the same good old kit.

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's
Here are some more Centurion IDs. to keep on with the Millennium Madness:wacko
There are even more Centurion parts but those have been already accurately IDed. I've count 32 parts of this kit on the 5 footer.

What I like about Rodmart's presentation style, though, is that it reveals so much about the parts which I'd eventually scratchbuild

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's
Sorry if I repeated some IDs, you see, I've got a lousy memory so I make my Id pages to remember from what kit I took these parts off in case they are needed for another ship (like the Y-Wing), so I may repeat some already Ideed parts just for clarity´s sake (My own clarity).
Hope it does not bother anyone.:cool

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's
Personaly, I am very appreciative of the way you put your parts lists together, and repeating only clarifies for me.
But I dont think anyone was criticising your layout.
Great work as always guys.

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's
Hi,
Her is another batch up updates of previous maps, plus a first pass at the various maintenance pits. I have to say I've struggled with these pits, but I'm sure Blackpig will make a dent in the parts I can't spot!.
The images we have have in public domain don't really give us enough angles and clarity for all of these pits. I recall SWgeek was offering to get some pics recently but doesn't sound like that came off. If anyone has the Lucasfilm exhibition near them and has a chance to grab some pics of the big Falcon that would be a massive help.
Anyway, here are the next batch of updates in no particular order.
Cheers
Nick

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's
Hey Nick,
MF020A
The tank deck is a panther/jadgpantger or King Tiger.
In comparison with the Handley Page parts, I would say 1/48. That can discard the Bandai Panther/Jagdpanter deck (which have the late version of the cooler or whatever it is called), so I think it's a King Tiger. I think you have the Bandai so you can check (I dont have it).
I dont know the diameter of the access pits on the 5', but from what I can recall (I'm not at home to check my build) the 32" has 27 mm holes, so I would say the holes are about 2" (probably a tad more) on the 5' since it about twice the size of the 32" ? A 1/35 deck would be too large to fit into this hole I think and 1/72-76 is way too small.
Nice job on the partmaps !!

MF012 1.1
I dont think parts #4 are from the JPS.
I believe they are from the Tamiya Tyrrell Ford F1 :
They are one part molded instead of the usual 2 separates tranny parts.
Not a big deal though as the result is nearly identical !
