Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's
Keep the good work, folks. I am in admiration of such dedication and passion.
The Nichimo 1/35 Jagdtiger appears to contain the part marked with a question mark in MF019.
Regarding the 1/6 Honda CB750, it is the Racing version that is required. The parts of interest are mirror images of one another, and they are used in their entirety, partly obscured by the 8 Rad assembly. In some shots of the deck, you can even see the tiny "pins" protruding on the sides. There are a couple of other parts nearby on the sprue, one of which being used on the port side, around the base of the mandible. See attachment.
On another topic, from 1970 to 1979, Tamiya did have a very small line of 1/48 models called Mini Tank Series. However, the series did not include the King Tiger. So that deck is still a :confused
Are we sure it is 1/48 scale? Back in those days, there were 1/50 scale kits too...:rolleyes

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's
Yes,If we want to build the L-size MF, have to get many big scale & expensive & rare kits ! I don't have this one.:cry
But I can buy this kit at the model shop where I live in.
Hey Nick ! Do you build this MF ? :lol
Hey Dr TaK ! You have CB750Racing !
Yeah, I agree. You are right. We need this one. Not CB750Four.
I don't know the Tamiya's Mini Tank Series. Do you have these kits ?
Could you please show us the box.
And that engine deck, there is the possibility of 1/50 I think too.:sleep

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's
I am aware this is rather a digression since it does not help us with the deck we are looking for, but I can provide the following details.
Initially, between 1970 and 1972, the series included 8 models: T36/76, SU-85, Swedish "S" Tank, M60, M60A1, M60A1E1, Kanone and Japanese MBT 71.
Some of these were re-issued in 1979, and Japanese Type 74 was added in 1980.
A couple among these were re-issued in 1994 as part of a new line called Remote-Controlled Mini Tank Series.
While I have not seen any of them in person, I believe the more recent Advancing Mini Tank Series is another re-incarnation of some of these tanks, but this time as completed models.
The only German tank in all these series is the Kanone. A picture of the box circa 1971 can be found here, and the 1994 re-issue here.
In fact, Tamiya did have a couple of armors at 1/50: the T-92 Airborene Tank and the Crusader II, released in 1967 as part of a line called Pocket Museum Series.
Again, sorry this is not really helping much other than to eliminate Tamiya from the radar.
I don't own any of the kits in this series. The information I have is from various catalogs.

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's
Hi,
Interesting kit history info going on here. Never ceases to amaze me how many obscure scales and ranges of kits have been produced over the years.

I had been looking at 1/48 bandai for this part, now you say it though, I think you are right about this being 1/35 Nichimo. However, looking at the way it fits comfortably into the pit do we think that maybe our mystery tank deck from the underside could also be 1/35 after all?? - NB it seems to be the same scale as the deck used on the front of the central landing gear box. If we can ID that and agree a scale it may help with this guy?

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's
After more digging, that in fact is still an open question. The part has features of both the Tamiya and Nichimo parts (I cannot find the Nichimo KT right now, but I am assuming it has the same sprue as the JT). See attachment.
I don't have a Handley Page, but do have the Tank Transporter, so I'll check on the size relative to that kit part.

I have been working under similar assumptions.

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's
Based on the KT/JT kits at different scales in my possession and furious amounts of calculations, the verdict, at least for the time being, is that the part under consideration is neither 1/48 (as measured on Bandai kits) nor 1/35 (as measured on Tamiya kits), but somewhere between 1/38 and 1/43, perhaps 1/40. I learned that Fujimi used to have a line including a KT in this scale. Other manufacturers also released armors at 1/40, but I have not been able to identify any JT/KT as of yet.
It could also be the case that the part is from a model whose size was not very accurate, and add the fact that back in the day, sometimes a manufacturer would decide to label a kit 1/48 or 1/35 depending on how popular a scale is, regardless of the actual size of the model.:rolleyes

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's
The exhaust cover seem to be molded directly with the rear bulkhead, the Matilda track glued on it could give a good idea of the size !

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's
I think it is different from Tamiya and Nichimo or both.
Like Julien said, considering the size of the Matilda track, which is 1/35 instead, we should consider that more small scale.
And I found the KingTiger 1/48 kit that the part have the exhaust cover on the rear bulkhead. (4th pic) But, It is not match.
I finally got the kit of CB750Racing !
Hey Rodmart !
Please refer to the dimensions of the engine block parts.:love

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's
BP, are you sure the part in your first image (mandible access pit) is from a 1/12 F1 ? It looks a bit like the part #A6 from the 8rad ?

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's
Thanks Jason, you are a life, and bank balance saver!
Thanks also to the rest of you guys for plugging away at these, especially our resident kitbashing master BP!
I'm having to put the Falcon on the back burner at the moment as we are about to complete the purchase of a new place and there's a fair of work to do to it. I'll keep tabs on what's happening here though and then do another set of revisions to capture progress. I have to say I'm amazed at the ground that's been covered since we started this thread. Hurray for joint endeavours!
Jason: I'll be at the stage soon when I can start to post up final versions of some maps on your site. That can be the main archive for the final info we compile. I've also got quite a detailed kit list compiled now too, so again that can go up for all to use.
Cheers
Nick

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's
The part is from the Panzer III, (part A30), as the index says at the bottom of the pic. Not sure why the writing at top contradicts it.

Re: Large scale Millennium Falcon Kit ID's
Nick map #MF004 'looks' like these parts from the Tamiya 1/35 Matilda. Could be from a Tiger exhaust cover also/maybe?
