"wish bone thingy under each fender " : It's scratchbuilt
"the line of small parts on each rear side" : cant see what you mean, do you have any pic ? I think you're refeering to the 251 parts, but Im not sure.
"the part inside the oval shape" This is from the 8 ton.

BTW I put the list of all the kits used on the ROTJ in my kit so you should find what you want !
Isn't the chassie made from the engine block of a 1/12 scale Ferrari?I don't know which one?I could use castings for detailing the AT-ST armature myself too.,as well as some actual kit parst,because I don't think solid castings will work for the chassie,you need the actual kit part,and i can't afford the $$$ for the kit.I'd trade a kit(s) if anyone were up for it?I'm updating the list in the junkyard.

Ferrari 312T John, actually you need 2 kits to complete the underside of the chassis (only one kit for the TESB AT-ST).

I so gotta get back to mine someday...
We're gonna disagree on this one Julien :lol. I'm sure the 312T4 is used twice (both shaved for the block on the bottom), the 312T is just used once (vents on either side).
I tried to orient the 312T blocks for a while, until it hit me that the original picture was the wrong way (flipped horizontally). When I flipped it, the 312T4 blocks lined up perfect, plus.. the squares on the 312T are more of a rectangle shape than the ones on the T4. The seam also matches up. I got all crazy from that one for a while.. the parts on the upper-back of the legs did turn out to be from the T4 too, so two kits works out right for that.
Here's a picture with the T4 blocks overlaid on top of the original source image at 25% opacity:
And just the blocks:

You're totally right Matt (and I used the 312t4 on mine ! 
), I agree with you... That's a long time we had this discussion, I lose my brain :lol
So you need two 1/12 Ferrari 312t4 and one 1/12 Ferrari 312T only for this area (the kind of exhaust parts on each side are from the 312T)
For the parts of the back of the middle legs, I used the 312T4 part but I modded them and cast them with a brass insert (I showed you a pic of them I think ?). Im not sure if that's the right parts but that's pretty close !

Yeah! It drove me nuts... it's funny how things just don't register mentally sometimes, I could've saved a lot of work if I'd just flipped the original picture horizontally instead of trying to work out which parts they used and how they got oriented for the longest time. I wasn't taking into account that this picture was shot when they reversed the grenade/blaster cannons on the cheeks.
At the end of the day though, I think you and me are the only ones who'd notice the difference. :sleep

Same boat John, basically I need to buy 2 more 312T kits, one for my TESB AT-ST and one for the Star Destroyer (of course the same part is used on this both models :sleep). I dont want to go with castings though, so I gonna to buy it.
PM sent John
Yeah Matt, I remember being bugged by the fact the pic was flipped (and that the side guns were reversed). No way to know it was from the underside ! Beside those 312T4 parts :lol
Yeah probably nobody cares except us and since the underside is almost never seen, I can understand that !
