So those bits are the last one we're missing on the facia ?
Anyone knows more about those ones ?
Thanks ! We're close ! :love
The one on the right looks like the back end of a Tamiya 1/35 M-16 (or other variant of U.S. WWII half track.)

Hi,guys
I agree with you. The area of the Hornet part does not seem to re-paint it to me either.
I do not understand why parts are different. Please tell me why. :confused
I look forward to your pics. :thumbsup
Thanks!

Hey Blackpig, unfortunatly I dont have the answer... I could try to ask Ease about that but he's not very informative when it comes to that stuff...
Anyway I will go with the look of your pics since it was like that when they shoot the model !
Here's what I think is right :
If you look at the ILM model from the right side you can see there is a step formed by a plate. And it's match all the shadows we can see in pics (weird to say something match shadows :lol).
There is another strip right under the M5 fender going to the hornet part I think (its not in my pic).
Let me know frankly what do you think about that ! Thanks

Hey,MonsieurTox
Thank you for your pics. I am always excited when To see your production pics on the way.
At first let me point out some to you.
a:You must change the left croc parts.
b:Insert the M5A1 parts between the croc parts.
c:You must change the Mobelwagen parts for another one.
d:We need looking for (2) parts. :confused
e:A slim part seems to stick to the lower part of Mobelwagen parts.
I think that there is the plate of the right-side end under the Mobelwagen parts. Because I think that there is little thickness of Mobelwagen parts.
In addition, I think that it is necessary to miss a projection in the adhesion side.
Then there seems to be a hollow to me in the place of (1) of the pics.
From these, I think that there may be a plate like a red line of pics.
How do you think?:confused

Hey Blackpig thanks for the input ! I didnt know exactly the shape of the styrene plate so I cut it like that, are you sure it's cut at angle ? I cant see it in any pics
Oh yeah I see it now for the croc part !
Yeah I inserted the M5A1 part between the croc parts yesterday after having take a look at the pic of the layed parts you posted earlier in this thread. I also did that on the left side but, even if the base is the same, I mean they used the M5A1 part, they glued something onto the tip of it ! I dont know what it is so I let it like that for now.
Argh yeah I thought the mobelwagen parts were identical but they are not. Beside the notches and the raised edges, the most problematic problem are the ejection holes because they glued styrene chips on them to hide them. I have 2 solutions : putty the ejection holes and glued the chips into the next case. Or adding the chips on the ejection holes but they will not be in the right case. I could go with the second because that's the easier way to do... and it will not be very noticiable. I just cant removed the parts unfortunatly
I have no idea what the small part is ! I dont have good pics of the back, hard to tell from overcompressed pics ! :wacko
I cant thank you enough for your invaluable help, thanks Blackpig !

Did you noticed that Blackpig ?
It looks like they shaved the nut of the right (portside) croc part and put it back (the fit is not flush, there is a shadow). I think it's a cover part for the Falcon mounting point !

BlackPig, I found 5 more parts :
We are missing the small bit which is on the starboard POW / KGV part. I think I saw this in a 1/700 tamiya kit of some small destroyer (you know the things which are about 7-8 cm long). I'm not sure though !
Ive ordered the 2 kits I told you last time to see if I get the part which goes under the shinano part, on the Hood deck. I let you know if it's positive !

Hey Monsieur Tox. You are really great SD builder!! :love
I can see a hollow to the red circle that the pic1, don't you think so?
But I'm not sure about this. Sorry!! We need the pics clearly!!!:love
I mean about the mobelwagen parts,the exchange to another armor part.(pic2)
Thanks

Well to be honest I cant see anything on the first pic ! :lol Maybe a part or styrene strip on the left red circle ? That's very confusing :wacko
Why I should replace my Mobelwagen ? (except the fact I put the right part on the left and the left on the right) ? I cant remove them, it's too late I did the plating on the top which cover the gap created by the top of the mobelwagen so I cant remove them :cry

Ok I found them, they are from the KGV :
Let me know what do you think, size, shape match the pics !
I dont know what the other parts are, looks like small guns with the barrels cut off ?

Hi, MonsieurTox.
We can buy those kits easily.
You have to live in Japan !!
lol:lolI watched your pic and discovered these.
This pic is the left side, but I think that surely I should become the right side in the same way(Except a part like the armorplate of the tank).
Thanks

Hey Blackpig,
Unfortunatly that's not the case and it costs me an arm to get all those kits (mainly in shipping).
Well here's what I think :
It looks on this pic that's not a plate but a styrene strip :
I dont think the mobelwagen is glued onto a styrene plate (the gap is probably a shadow because there is no gap on other pics... and this illusion can be see on some parts which dont have any gap).
Plus, you'll notice that the mobelpart is thinner on the side edge than the actual kit part so my guess is that they cut to hape a styrene plate (like I did on the left side). I dont know the exact shape of this one though :
Now a pic with what I think being styrene plates :
I dont know if the part on the left is from a kit of just a styrene plate...
Ive started the plating but ran out of styrene :
Please let me know what do you think !
Thanks
