JCoffman,

I'm not certain, but pretty confident that your farthest right piece identified as #143 is incorrect -- I think that piece (the long rod with the concentric ring section and then the end bulge with flat bottom surface) comes from the Bandai 1/24 M60 as well. If you've got a part number/picture confirming it's from the Yardley McLaren, please show it, so I can correct my own notes.

You're right. I got it confused with this one thinking part had broken off. I'll make the change. Thanks!

I fixed the post above with the corrected version.

Thanks man. I think I'll need a new hard drive soon, lol. Great work on these. I did a few for the Galactica, and a few other ships, and that was enough for me. I love doing it, just can't focus my eyes long enough anymore. Keep up the good work. We all appreciate it !

I feel like any Morser Karl or Leopold kit part on the Falcon is an Empire era add. I'll see if I can see those parts in the early pics.

If I understand correctly, the color Chronicles color pics are before the Empire changes right? If so, you're right.

Trying to knock out the other side today too. Need a few tank track IDs if anyone knows. My eyes are starting to go for the day.

 

[jcoffman99]

double post

 

[swgeek]

I'm thinking the tank tracks are Bandai 1/48 Panther G or Jagdpanther.

 

[jcoffman99]

Bandai M60 1/24?

 

[jcoffman99]

Just need this last piece...

 

[swgeek]

I think that's Tamiya 1/35 M551 Sheridan.

Thanks for all the help everyone. Here's another finished one. It's funny that all those red pieces are significantly different shades of red, yet they all look the same.

 

[jcoffman99]

Okay so I've hit a snag. Below is the best pic of the underside starboard walkway I have. If you have a better one that gets the whole thing in frame and want to donate it, please let me know.

Closer? These are 1/48 scale so I don't know if they'd be too small.

Bandai 1/48 Jagdpanther part #E9 is my take. It's part #E11 on the Panther G kit.

 

[jcoffman99]

Is the section with the ??? an actual kit part or just squares of styrene? Otherwise I only see three pieces on this section right?

 

[swgeek]

I'm pretty sure the blue arrow is Bandai Super Cub and the yellow arrows are ships guns, not sure which kit though.

Funny you mention ship guns. That's what I'm looking at now.
