A-Wing Reference needed

[Junk Pilot]

I am looking for a photo of the rear of the SS A-Wing between the side guns and engines. All the photos I have don't show this area at all. Thanks.

Look on Kurts site, or, some photos were taken on Toromodel too?, i think we did find most of what is in there though buddy, check out Guy Cowens thread, should all be in there.
Main area in the dark, is the rear canopy bulkhead, think the only parts found there are the Ford DFV by Phil, and a few Vosper parts by myself, and Allan Hansen.

Unfortunately these pics don't show the area I am looking for at all so I still need a suitable image.

Hmm, i know there is a pic, of some sort of the hull/gun bulkhead, as the parts got ID'd. Think it was the Tamiya 25pdr, an AMT truck (cant recall the name but Guy would know) and drinking straws or the like?

I have seen Gus's use of the straws though.

hello,
It would be this??

 

[ralphee]

Thats the one Roberto, knew we used it way back.

That's the one. Thanks Roberto.

The spindle-like thing on the left I ID'd as a part from the AMT lowboy trailer (I believe. Don't know where that thread is right now, so I can't say for sure, but that's how I remember it.)

 

[Guy Cowen]

The straws I used where way too small in diameter, you need to get some that are about 6mm at least. They're is also a few Tamiya 1/35 Geard parts in there. I may have some spate lowboy parts but an not home for about a month to have a look.

At the moment I am working on my Hasbro A-Wing (I can't afford Studio Scale at all) but I need to get more straws as the ones I bought don't work too well.

Is it canon the side guns swivel up and down or is it just a novelty someone's made up?

 

[Guy Cowen]

I'v e never seen them in any position other then pointing forward, but they do look like armature mount points on the ILM model also. I'm guessing they can be removed so probably they can swivel also, I dont think it matters, as long as they can point forward it will display fine

 

[Junk Pilot]

Ok, need help with another part. Does any one know this part at all?

 

[ralphee]

Think they were cut from the Tamiya 8rad bud.

[ralphee]

Strike that, they ARE from the 8rad.

[Junk Pilot]

Nice. Thanks Ralphee.

They're cut from Part 12, Sprue D

Does anyone have these parts spare?
