lookin good!!!
Two more parts from the radar dish I can't seem to track down. Anyone?
What kit is around it? Look for something modified from that model.
No idea otherwise...
Axel?
Strut?
Part of a Model Stand?
Angled cross section...that implies its HOLDING something or bearing some sort of FORCE. (No pun)

Okay, still looking for parts...
I believe these both may be from the same 1/76 Fujimi kit.
1.
2.
Number 1 looks very much like the aft bulkhead from the 1/76 Fujimi Jagdpanther. True, I could simply put another couple holes in it...but, that's not really what this hobby's about, now is it?
BTW, before anyone goes shooting holes in the 1/76 Fujimi idea, the part below scales perfectly to the parts adjacent to it on the filming model. Whatever the actual part is, I'm 99 percent it's from a 1/76 Fujimi.

Great job ! :thumbsup

Thanks, swgeek! The Bulldog is a funny kit. It was quickly eliminated as a donor early on based on the ref we had. These last few bits are from more recent ref and I'm finding that kits that had been eliminated need to be pulled out again...

By the way, here's a new find I made last week. One of the antenna on the radar dish is from the 1/87 ROCO Gepard (sometimes mislabeled on ebay - and the older packaging - as a "Leopard").

Oh, my bad. By "eliminated early on" I only mean that it was vetted against available photo reference and found not to provide any kit parts. At that point the kit gets moved to the "also ran" pile as a loser (for Slave, anyway).
You have to be really methodical in vetting kits (which, I wasn't in this case). It's fine to eliminate kits and keep lists so you're not always going through the same kits over and over. But, when you happen upon new reference, ya gotta recycle through those "eliminated" kits, or this is what happens.
It's tedious. That's why we LOVE it!! Right? Right?? In truth, on Slave, I think I'm the only one left loving it on a regular basis... We hit the 80-20 rule over a year ago. These scraps I'm hunting, now, are really just for the insane.
Oh, and I also say it's a funny kit because it's a bit like Tamiya's m42 and leopard - they're pretty rough and lackluster kits.

Appreciate the eyes, geek! The bulldog is a fine tank, it's just that the Tamiya version lacks the polish of some of their other kits.

I do believe that is the rear engine deck/bulkhead of a T-34.1.

Thanks for the Bulldog offer, Jay - but it's already bagged!
Weazel, you're dead-on, too. I'm betting it's either the Fujimi Jagdtiger or the T34 - I'll order both and report back. Thanks!

Allan, this might be a match, part just seen from the other side.

Worth a shot - thanks, Moe! I think I scaled the part to be about 39.0mm at its widest...

That's not even sure the part is seen from the other side, I can see the round thing and the raised details between the 4 holes on Allan's pic, I think that's because the quality of the pic is not excellent !
