Well, since I am building Galactica replicas and its known they used the left over kits from ANH on them ( as well as new kits ) they did use a few motorcycles on the studio models from TOS Galactica.
The Galactica and Galactica shuttle sport them so its possible they had them for ANH. Isn't the Tamiya Yamaha Midnight Special a Y-Wing kit?

From the confirmed Y donor kits none have pre-dated 1974. I look up through 1976 era kits however to be on the safe side. What is the release date of the Yamaha Midnight Special?

boatbuilder,
The box tops are open, and the parts are in bags. The japanese are very trustworthy people and I am probably one of two americans who would even go in there. The rest just care about getting drunk and acting foolish. They don't worry about people stealing because that's just not done around here (by the japanese). It is considered very dishonorable to steal. Still, there are some kits that are shrinkwrapped, too - like imported ones. I know the brand new kits that are sold at department stores are always open.

Hey, I don't have a picture, but you can look through the studioscale kit scans page. What I see in the Sealab is a piece that goes in the rear thrust vectrals. It looks like a roof truss. If you weren't going to cast parts you would need 4 kits, as one kit only has one half. Does anyone see which part I am talking about?

I was speculating on the recovery vehicle but I do have the sdkfz 7/1 7 ton semi tracked vehilce with flak paltform tamiya and there is a chassis part that has the right outline and spacing of holes as soon as I can find it I will post it
I should just get all the instruction booklets out of the kits and keep those close to the pc they ahve the parts trees on them so id parts would work from those

this very well could be the exhaust pipes we need for the nacelles
but I don't remember what kit its from the scale is small though like 1/72 or so and its from a sopwith camel or a red baron than much is for sure

Check out the 1/72 Bristol F2b, look at the exhaust pipes mid page: http://www.rodenplant.com/HTML/043.htm
Airfix has been making this kit a long time.
At first I thought it might be the Airco RE8 exhaust as it already has a 90 degree bend, but the headers are not correct.
