[faustus100]

This is one of the last parts I need to id for the cockpit top of the Falcon.Has anyone seen it?Im thinking maybe part of a tank?Ive been trying to find this one forever:cry

closer shot

Thanks for looking!!

Is the the 5ft Falcon or the 32 incher?That part isn't ringing any bells with me,but I'm sure someone here might know.It also looks like an easy scracth built too.

 

[Treadwell]

(OT) look at those dark spots to the left where the undercoat is exposed where a part used to be. It's heartbreaking to see things falling off the old girl.

Id really love to help you out bro, but as you know, you re way ahead of me on this.

Are the other greables on the cockpit(anywhere) not consistant with kits or manufactures?

Hey JP-yeah-I think all the others are from kits as well.But Im starting to wonder if this is really infact 2 or more parts together.Something like this

 

[BrundelFly]

Side of a TANK? with the Axels Sanded?
A small tank?

Thats a great one Frank!Maybe I havent been seeing(or looking at) it right.Ill check that out.
Thanks

 

[JPolacchi]

I knew Frank would probably know.I'm S$!@? at i.ding kit parts,and the 5 footer uses totally different kits and different scales than the ESB Falcon.To me...it looked like kit sprue and styrene scrap sanded down.

 

[faustus100]

Ok-I think this is the breakdown-its probably 3 different parts!

:lol How much has it cost you now? And you're worried about a cost blow out if you get it wrong? tic

Umm-I was really referring to the cost of getting it exact via part printing after Cad.I could get very close scratching it-but not exact.
Hey I got an idea-if youre good at making parts and can get it exact Ill pay you to do it!

 

[ralphee]

Part in red, F1 dashboard with something glued over the top? I suck on Falcon ID's bud!

[faustus100]

Yeah Lee I found that part thanks for looking as always my friend.Its the purple part thats driving me crazy.Im starting to think its a gun maybe?
The funny thing is that its probably a very simple part!

 

[ralphee]

Ill keep looking buddy, im going through lots of ID's for the ATST right now, so you never know, hmm a gun, i had an odd feeling on some sort of leaf spring assembly.
Anyway, if anything should rear its head, youll be the first to know

bests.....lee

Oh, and if you get time, PICS :lol, the assemblies you posted a while back blew my mind, love to see more, the 5 foot Falcon....its a mans build LOL.

 

[gunnerk19]

To me, it looks like maybe a cockpit sidewall from an aircraft model kit... a crappily detailed one, but... :lol

on a 5 ft. Falcon, methinks it could come from a 1/72 scale plane...


BTW, is that a Willys jeep windshield frame on top behind the cockpit?

 

[GKvfx]

The blue part appears to be a part of a German tank sight/periscope (the kind attached to the gun, not a commander's or driver's periscope). I'm not going off any kit info, just what the part might be in "real life".

[slave1pilot]

I think the blue part is sprue

remember the SS Slave1 buildup?
one of the parts on the hull was sprue.

 

[MonsieurTox]

The blue part is clearly a gun with some sprue parts

 

[Mike J.]

Mmm, yeah, that's my best guess.

A big machine gun with the local bits of sprue left on.

Good luck.
