Sandcrawler Part ID

[Robiwon]

Has anyone been able to ID these parts yet? I've looked thru about 7 years worth of posts! This is how my eyes feel right now! :eek

The wheel isnt a tank part bud, think two wheels, if i recall right, its from a Tamiya Kawasaki 1300 kit as i found it used on another ILM model.

Do you also mean the tubular sections? Airfix Saturn V!

1/6 Tamiya Kawasaki 1300b tourer, its the brake disc, as i said, id never ID'd it for the crawler, but found it used on other ILM builds, quite a pricey and rarer kit now too!

Which one do you think is a Kawasaki part? The outer bit in the upper part of the picture or are both from the Kawasaki (possibly)? Thanks!

As it goes, i do recall, a conversation with a friend, on another Kawasaki of ANH era, differing in scale slightly, and sadly very rare, not sure if there is a chance it could be this kit, it was 1/8 scale i believe....kinda fuzzy, but there was at least one other Kawasaki kit back then.

The Bike donates the brake disc inside the Saturn V dome i believe, im no crawler expert buddy sadly, the side where you can see said brake disc, has the upper dome missing, im sure there is one in the "complete" side too!

The Kawa part is not original and was added later (probably when they took new shots for the Special Edition).

 

[Robiwon]

I don't think they are both made of the same parts, other than the S5 parts. The lower wheel looks to have a larger center hub than the upper wheel. But I do see the "disk brake" in the upper.

Edit- Took too long to type

What was there before that part? Was there another cover like the lower one?

 

[MonsieurTox]

I dont know what part it was before that, no good pic

The lower wheel is not from the Kawa kit, that's sure

 

[Robiwon]

The lower one looks like a hubcap off a 1/12 scale Tamiya car. Looks like a single piece, and nothing under it.

 

[ralphee]

Lower wheel inner is a tank, for sure...Panther maybe? Not sure on those domes though.
Cheers for that bro, wasnt sure about what the other "stack" included :lol

Nah, dont think so, at 1/12 that wouldnt be possible in my mind, and F1 rim is a LOT smaller than the part your seeing.....one thought was Kettenkrad but no joy...it does appear toothed though?

Ah, inner hub of the domed part, seems to be Tamiya KingTiger to my eye!

Perhaps its a dome much like the antenna on the falcon with the notches cut around with a nibbler?

 

[ralphee]

I was going to say it does look cut J, cant think of anything off the top of my head with this kind of shape, the styrene, does look "nibbled" in a way?

To get an idea the Kawa brake disk is 2" in diameter.

Don't know if this help, but hopefully so...

Cool - just noticed the Airfix SR-N1 Hovercraft parts on there. Great shot!

 

[Whiskey]

Very cool! I didnt notice the Patton!

Do you have more pics?
