Hi Julien,

I think No 4 is a skylight from a passenger ship. Think it may be the Queen Mary or something like it.

Anyway I thought you were making a huge Star Destroyer?

Cheers

Nick

Too much glue Nick... too much glue ! :lol

Any chance someone knows this part ?

I found out that it was from Tamiya 1/35 Japanese army tank gun set but I cant find any kit with that name... (it was on a japanese board so I'm not sure of the translation !).

These parts are from the Tamiya 1/35 Type 97 Japanese Tank...

It looks like part #2 and #3 are not found. They're poorly scratchbuilt on the MR as well as part #1.

This is just an idea for the 32 inch Falcons radar dish. It has always been generally believed that the Fruehaff Tank trailer was used for that. I did use that part for my own build, but modified it heavily to get a match. Then the other day I got the idea that it could be from an Awac airplane??
Any thoughts guys??

Was this kit available in 1978-1979 ? That would be interesting to see the other side of the parts !

I have some old catalogues, let me dig them from their hide and see if any Awacs should be made at that period.

I looked at all my F1 kits, 1/20 and 1/12 and I cant find the red part...

Thanks for your help !

M16 personel carrier is your friend for the blue part.
It's a part of the radio, on the figure kit frame

Red part should be a F1 part. Def. a grill.

What size is the red part? Im sure there is a "block" with a grille, in the 312b, but the pattern may be off to what is fitted here, agree with Moe though, does look F1?

Could the grill be the 1/12th yellow F1 renault ?...I've got that all stripped down with ferrari parts all mixed in with it so I'm not sure what parts are from what kit..

Cheers
