Kit Parts ID help - Alien Nostromo Flamethrower

Well had a epiphany today

So the gas that im going to use is propane which is notorious for freezing up in thin metal piping and rather than use galvanized steel pipes for the initial mix in the gun i decided to use a 2 part sleeve to keep things insulated from both the cold and heat when being used

So this will both suffice for insulation and stability for the flamethrower when in use

Only issue is ill have to increase the size of the burner tip and its connector (which was a given from the start of this build)

Well things are moving along nicely however looking at the actual unit parker was carrying it looks like they used quite a few of the MPC Darth Vader kits as these peices are seemingly all over the place for the final build shown in the movie

Also i was wondering how they got the actual burner tip to stay lit in the scenes and i think ive figured it out for my build of the flamethrower

These last few photos were taken from a 35mm teaser of alien 1979 and in it therea distinctive holes in the tip where it seems like oxygen could breathe in allowing the gas to ignite easier so i think thatll be how i get the electronic igniter to work

Well ive been doing a few rough ideas for the flamethrower pattern

Since this is gonna be upscaled a little and act as a peice set just a little after the isolation game ive decided to add in a few additional peices i think might just add a little more pop to the design

Also ive discovered that the peice i had 3d printed out i thought was 1 section turned out to be a full row with about 6 circles between the holes so i suspect this is some sort of tire rack for a model but im unable to find out which
