Tried any local plastics places? They sell 4x8 sheets in various thicknesses, and will cut them down to size to fit in your car. Much cheaper than sheets packaged for hobby purposes.

this is just an example, i chose .040" but you can find pretty much anything up to 1/4" WHITE POLYSTYRENE PLASTIC SHEET .040" STYRENE YOU PICK THE SIZE ^ | eBay
WOW! Thank for that. That's much better. I'm going to give them a try.
New tech meets old tech.
I'm 3d printing a jig that I made on the computer that follows the curvature of the Falcon's sidewall. I can then attach this to my wood and use it as a guide with my router. This should save a bunch of time.
Once I check that everything lines up, I'll post the file on my drive for others.

Lines up perfectly. File is on my drive under Files for 3D Printing\Router Jigs

I discovered some color mistakes regarding the rear engine deck. These maps have been updated. I also along the way lost one of the maps that was numbered so I have redone that one.
When your forget to mark your centerline before cutting the center out of your patty, you make a plug. Lol
Match?
Thanks Stu. Only two more pieces to identify on the rear deck.

Finally found it!!!
These two little circles are the last I need for the engine deck to be complete. We know based on the info from Bandai that they were chrome. Any hints?
Thanks,
John

No luck on the round parts jet…
What got me just now is the addons to the Hummel ‚fins‘! I never noticed before. I figured maybe Airfix 1/24 Hurricane, part #20 but no clue on the rest, thinking tank threads maybe? Anybody got a clue or link to some info?

Getting ready to cut. I have about 7 inches from the end of the mandible to the docking ring. Sound right?
The fins get the following additions:
Right Side gets these added greeblies: Tamiya 1/35 Ausf. M/N #A43 + Airfix 1/24 Hawker Hurricane machine gun, modified (#129/132/134/136/154/157/159/161)
Left Side gets these added greeblies: Tamiya 1/35 Ausf. M/N #A42 + Airfix 1/24 Hawker Hurricane #20 – sanded down on back side
Here's the updated map.
