Hi, folks! Would anyone have any visual leads on a greebly that was present on the 5 footer during the ANH era, but which has subsequently been lost?
Sorry if this has been covered, but I couldn't find any reference to this topic in a scan of the thread. In fact, I'm not sure what the deal is for identifying kit parts that are no longer present in any modern-day reference photos! Feel free to delete this, admins, if it's been covered.
The part is on the five footer, at the top of the jawbox near the dorsal gun turret. It's next to the missing trapezoidal vertical piece, pierced with a few holes, that's been identified as part of the suspension of the Tamiya 1/12 M23 McLaren. The trapezoid has been replicated on the TFA digital model, apparently minus the smaller holes.

But then there's a sort of hand-like or vaguely Y-shaped horizontal piece, that goes into a hole in the trapezoid at one end. This has been at least partly replicated on the TFA Falcon.
At some point both these bits fell off, since they only seem to be in 1977-era photographs, and current exhibition photos have only blank spots. The 32" model has a three-lobed part where the hand-like piece is found.
A good visual reference for this missing bit would be awesome. Thank you!
Thanks!
