Ikmtrying the freezer method first. I’ll leave it in overnight and try tomorrow.

Yea that's probably safer than the green stuff. It can make some plastic slimy. Just depends on the type of styrene. I used it on an F4 part for the Galactica and it worked well. But its a roll of the dice.

Before and after!! Didn’t lose a one. Woohoo!!

Awesome, another part saved from mediocrity. On to a better life, as part of the best " Hunk a Junk " in the Galaxy.

Thanks Jaitea.

I love this show. It’s amazing.

So I'm back on the maps. Summer is over. Woohoo. Ordered a few more kits that should be here in the next month.

 

[jcoffman99]

Finally got to try my 3D scanner. I’m hoping to use this to replicate some parts. We’ll see…

 

[jcoffman99]

Jumping back into the parts maps. Can anyone help me out with the circled piece please? Thanks,
John

Match with the Tamiya 1/35 Panzer IVAusfD?

 

[swgeek]

Looks right to me.

 

[jcoffman99]

Added the Airfix Harrow train scans to everything. See first post.

 

[jcoffman99]

Started a new one today.

 

[jcoffman99]

Added the Italian Self-propelled Gun M40-75/18 Fiat-Ansaldo Italaerei | No. 214 | 1:35 scans to everything.

The part circled in red is Tamiya 1/25 Centurion, either part #C41 or #C42 -- these are mirrored parts, but the backs of both are identical, and this is the backside facing out on the model.

Thank you so much. I've spent the last day staring at that kit as it makes up a lot of the rear underside. I thought that part might be in the kit, but could never find the other side to confirm. Every pic only shows the "plain" side.

So on the original parts map from back in the day the numbered part below is listed as the Tamiya 1/35 M60. However the Bandai 1/25 looks closer to my eye. Was this something corrected later? Is it neither?

It's definitely the Bandai 1/24 M60, and NOT the 1/35 kit.

SK, you certainly are one of the kit part masters. I am continually amazed of those who have invested so many years of research invested into specific studio scale greeblies from the 70’s.
