Non of those parts exist on the prop, but, your looking at Brabham BT44 brake calipers, and, i think, a part from the 1/25 Centurion.

No one who has that info has shared it, yet. I just copied Lee/Julien/Allan on the back end details because I liked it!

Best thing, is to add the 8rad parts, and the F1 rims as a main thruster bell all to the back end, and your smack bang on accuracy wise.

lee, for give me if I seem ignorant here? but what is 8rad parts? and F1 rims?
What model kits are thay? Also I would need to see a picture of placement of where the parts go?

Thank you lee for all your help in this project.:thumbsup

E, OK, the 8rad parts or Sd kfz232 parts, are all the parts that attach to the back of the pod, they are all from sprue B. The other come shaped part, is the
bucket, from the same kit. Five of each part are needed.

The F1 rims, that is the big main engine in the middle, i used three Tamiya 1/12 BT44B racing car rear rims stacked together, Jason, i think used a Lotus set of rims.

You dont need a pic for placement, its all in black and white in the pic you posted of Jason's.

Hope that helps.......lee

Fantastic work, this and Lee's build has inspired me to build my own!
Could someone please confirm the size of Plastruct dome which covers the turret holes.
Thanks

Great reference Jason :thumbsup
Actually, I'm also inspired from you, Lee and Julien.
Firstly, I will start to make the LR232 version, and then try LR223...

Thanks Eric.
