what part(s) do you need from the old Yamato/Musashi?

I have a couple of kits that were built by my younger brother back in the 80s. I have been keeping them around to rob for spare parts here and there

Much nicer condition than mine for sure.

The kits I had spares of were glue bombs and would have been a lot of work disassembling

Funny though, I just finished newer releases of both those kit in 1/700 scale. I know the Yamato is a complete re-tool based on new data they found about the hull shape.

Interesting tidbit with the Shinano is it was supposed to be the 2rd Yamato class battleship, but after losing most of their carriers at midway, it was converted to an aircraft carrier instead

So it has the same hull, and in case of the model kit, hull shell as the Yamato
 
i updated the wing, looks like on combine, the "size" of the mpc wing shifted the parts a little, i corrected that and i changed the angle of the solar panels a little, on the yellow version the the panels were noch parralel to the wing strud and added the greebles on the outside of the wing extension

my wing extension is a little to "long/wide" compareed to the pictures, maybe 1 or 2 mm but i have a question

on the right wing the details are closer and thicker to the mpc wing than on the left picture, and the green distance is also diffrent.
is it a camera thing or did they build two tie bombers?
