I was just reading a post from Frank Cerney in the MR Falcon Scale thread and thought I would clear up something here...
I've just edited the first post to be more clear about what I want this thread to be. I'm really curious about how the 32" ILM falcon has changed over the years and I think others are as well. This thread is NOT a place to complain about the MR Falcon. The thing is a beautiful piece and deserves your respect as an amazing piece of licensed, mass produced product as do ALL those involved in its development and those that came before them building their Falcons from Scratch with nothing but grainy photos as reference.
There are a few people like Frank, Moe, and Tim that led the way on the Falcon for all of us to be able to see it as we do now. There are plenty more now building and learning the bird in all her details. Hopefully you guys are willing to contribute here and share some of your knowledge. You are in the trenches so to speak on this and I'm sure have some insights that would surprise us all.

Ok, I REALLY have other stuff to do today, but this is getting addictive. :confused
YES, I checked. I have the 9 meg version of that Chronicles pic and the part noted above is definitely missing! I was going to grab some Silpac and just pull a quick mold BUT the problem is that the port and starboard parts are mirror images of each other, so you can't use one to replace the other. Dang. Another scratchbuild...
So I will SEE your nine and RAISE you. Looking at the ILM as-filmed images, I found another!
Center spine... 3 1/2 inches back. There are two rectangular details turned 90 degrees to each other. The most-rearward one has a L-shaped pipe hanging out in the air and connecting to the detail right behind it. It is NOT on the MR. At least this will be an easy one!
But I stink at posting pics.
So...TEN!
HAH!

The piece that's there is from the Karl, but the piece missing next to it is unidentified. Rectangle with 4 ridges - thinner and maybe not as tall as the Karl piece and a bigger gap in the middle.

Re: Parts "missing" from the MR Falcon
Looking at the esb falcon in the sag book.....the two parts at the end of the two pipes is the same as the parts at the each pipe going up the center towards the turrent.The one on the MR falcon next to the one missing is not right.

Bumping the thread since it was mentioned in the other Falcon building thread.
Only 2 of the 10 missing parts were ever positively ID'd.
