Hey MB,
Thanks so much! The Flame Tube was a lucky find!

I hope I'm not a debbie downer, but the flame tube is not the exact one used for IG-88, cantina, etc. It's pretty darn close, but not exact. The multiple seams and holes at the bottom should only be one seam, with a larger hole beneath it.

Hey S,
Well you are! Nah... Just kidding! We all understand that the chances of us finding the "exact" parts the original designers used is difficult at best. We still have yet to identify 90% of the ship greeblies. For example, the Garrard Record Player Trim Plate I was able to find - I'm one model off but the part is almost identical to the one used in the cockpit. While it might not be "the" exact model, we are using an actual Garrard part. The fact that we have a Rolls Royce Flame Tube is pretty cool! And if we do find the originals... then I have an awesome piece of aviation history and an even better piece of artwork to showcase.
I certainly wouldn't categorize this as a "good enough" moment. If we're unable to secure the parts used, then we will most definitely HAVE to compromise during the build. As much as that pains me to admit.
