Re: Space Cowboys ship, Battle Beyond the Stars PART ID HELP NEEDED 
Hey Joe was looking at this thread and saw that post about the J-5 engine. I was going through the thread to see if anyone knew what they were when I found your post. I knew right away. I have one in the stash I was about to go looking for it when I saw your post and had found it. That is for sure one of the more obsicure kits I have seen used in a space ship bash. The Sprit is one of my favorite planes have always wanted to build one and use that engine.

Making some progress! About 75% of the parts are accurate. There's very little reference except from the BluRay/DVD. There is a 1/48th Tiger I part that was found yesterday and will be updated later. On to the rest of it.

You are doing a fantastic job with it! I'm still gathering up all my parts for mine...

Haven't posted an update in awhile, but this is moving along...
Upper cargo bed (about 80% accurate I think)
Decal sheet, to add to the ones used from the kits. And that's not the Rebel Battle flag we all assumed was on there. Go back and look
Lower cargo area (only about 20-30% accurate due to lack of info)
Upper cargo with some base paint

After a couple of years trying to figure out as many of the original pieces as possible, my build of Space Cowboy's ship from Battle Beyond the Stars is done. Thanks to Joe Brown for starting the idea (he's still building his but not far behind), Gene K and Ron T for the help and contact with Dennis Skotak, and Kevin Hand for the 3D parts (the engine ends). Not the most glamours ship but I remember it well from the first time I saw the move, so a good subject for me to take on.
