Mr. Robot might have found U5. What do you think? Sadly this is the only pic I could find. It's the Bandai Hanomag which is not on the list list as of now.

Looks promising! Thanks MrRobot and John
The Disney 'Light and Magic' trailer has a high-res image of the 'over-head' picture. Not really more conclusive though:

Gggrrrrrrr..... now I need to find Space Masking Tape!

Does anyone know about this kit? It looks like a tank to me.

Anyone have the Fujimi 1/550 Yamato that could check the size for me please?

 

[RealDaveWinter]

I can't speak for the diameter, but the part on the left has too many teeth.

I found this. An 11mm, 12 tooth, spur gear from a 1970s era FUTABA radio control sail boat servo. Almost certainly not the correct part, but dimensionally it's correct and has the correct number of teeth. Fill it with a bit of 5 minute epoxy (which is what ILM used) and you'd have that crowned top as well.

Looks like this: Panzerkampfwagen IV f2, Entex Industries 8479 (1978)

EDIT:

Or this: German Army Assault Gun, Entex Industries 8481 (1975)

あるいはこれ:ドイツ軍突撃銃、エンテックス インダストリーズ 8481 (1975)

Thank you, MrRobot!

Thanks to Shamon's post of the kit I think we can call this a match for U5. Thoughts? Sadly, without a better pic I don't know that we'll find U6.

The problem is the back of this A21 part...

If you're a member of scifikitbash.com and are getting a ridiculous amount of emails today, I'm sorry. Looks like forum/thread update emails...well actually any emails...were never going out. The good news is they are working now. The bad news is you're probably getting a ton of them today. It should catch up soon. So sorry. Thanks for understanding,
John

Too big or too small?

It seems to be too big compared to Ferrari's.

We do NOT need the 1/25 Tamiya Chieftain kit correct? I know I had the wrong screwdriver at one point.

Thanks,
John

You need both 1/25 Chieftains, with and without interior. The without interior model has the correct screwdriver...

Edit: Oops sorry! I wanted to say 1/25 Centurions...

... but no Chieftain necessary?

 

[Rick Deckard]

The Chieftain is necessary too!

 

[eagle1]

No Tamiya 1/25 Chieftains are required for the Falcon. The 1/35 is needed though.
The Tamiya 1/25 Centurion is a major donor & earlier releases have the screwdriver halves.

 

[Necronaut]

The Chieftain is necessary too!

Sorry, I should have been more specific: no 1/25 Tamiya Chieftain is needed?

The 1/25 Chieftain is not needed, just checked my notes....

 

[jcoffman99]

I'm losing my mind. What tank part was this again? The circle part, not the Nashorn. Thanks,

Bandia Tiger I?
