Re: 32" Falcon Progress/update newer pics page 6
Thanks for the kind words again guys,
Just to answer that kit part question, it's from a 1/12th tamiya ferrari, this kit..
I can't remember the actual kit number, this kit along with the 1/12th renault that Stu mentioned, have been sitting in my Mum's garage for years gradually falling apart. I thought I'd strip 'em down and use them for this build.
I don't have the plans anymore, so I can't give the part number, but here's a close up of the remains of the part and where it goes on the side of the engine.
I think this engine's used on the Bwing too..
As I say, this is not an accurate part for the 32", but I just thought it looked ok so stuck it on.
I hope that helps and if it turns out to be a part not discovered yet I'd be very pleased to have found something that could be new..
Cheers
Phil

Re: 32" Falcon Progress/update newer pics page 6
Hey guys
I think I've asked this before, but I thought I'd ask again to anyone who hasn't seen these. Could anyone help me ID any of these parts, or any spare castings that may be lying around would be most welcome.
...it's the spoilers-flaps, fins and connecting stuff I really need.
This vent area has me beat too..is it that coolshade stuff ?
I thought these wheels ?...well, I think they're wheels, who knows ?..were from the 1/72 airfix panther, but nope..I was all ready to stick 'em on too..:angry
Any help would be great
Cheers

Phil, top left part circled is from the Tamiya 1/35th British 25PDR Field Gun, other half on the right side also, not sure about the rest, couldn't ID any of the other circled parts from this kit, just looked through, which happens to be the Gun and Quad Tractor boxed set!.

Re: 32" Falcon Progress/update newer pics page 6
Well as i recall corectly from my MR falcon its rather big these upright fins:rolleyes
Did you get the email i send you?
Hey DLT, I dunno if they're from the 1/15th hummel,.they might be a bit too big.. I think these 1/15th parts were used on the 5 footer. Was there a smaller scale hummel ?
Thanks for the kind words from all up to now

Re: 32" Falcon Progress/update newer pics page 6
Don't know if this helps, but you know those images that change (reflect) as you move them to simulate movement? Sometimes they're on kid's stickers and book covers. I'm certainly no Falcon expert, but if you run out of ideas, you could probably paint the texture of one of those stickers gray and see similar grading with weathering. Looks like whatever it is, is framed in styrene strips (front & back). Granted, the 5-footer looks like actual venting, whereas the 32" looks like a solid material.
...just stirring the idea pot.

Re: 32" Falcon Progress/update newer pics page 6
Wow!Its looking really great.I'm not too familiar with falcon donar parts, with the exception of some of what Frank has mentioned. The 1/30 Hummel is a doozy to buy and find.Sadly I had one years back but sold it to someone in here.Dragon makes a 1/35 Hummel,and aside from the fin being a tad smaller,it is more finely detailed. I believe Moe scratch built his and made castings.The flat spolers I thought were from an Aroura armor kit with a dozer blade attached,but I am probably mistaken.It was a very off scale,1/32 or something like that?The small block I thought came from a 1/9 Ketenkrad and the struts I though had come from a 1/24 Messerschmitt or Mustang be it Airfix or Bandai?That's about all I can really recall?

Re: 32" Falcon Progress/update newer pics page 6
The fins are from the Bandai Hummel 1/15 but its just shorter than on the 5 fter.There are some different greeblies on it than on the big Falcon tho.
I cant remember(since the 32" er is not my area) but I believe that spoiler is from a 1/20 car kit.Try thr MF builders club-they have a lot of ids for the 32.Treadwell over there id'd the fin-
Hers the link-hope it helps-

Re: 32" Falcon Progress/update newer pics page 6
I'm not sure I see the resemblance, but would like to be proved wrong.
I have a 1/30 scale bandai hummel - that doesn't have the right part either.

Re: 32" Falcon Progress/update newer pics page 6
I had the 1/30 Hummel a while ago and the part in question was there,but as I recall...you would have to remove it from the gun barrel/breech.It was molded in one piece and it didn't have the detail on it shown above.The 1/35 Hummel by Dragon is a hair smaller,but it has lots of detail on it.

Re: 32" Falcon Progress/update newer pics page 6
Hey Chris !, great to hear from you, I hope you're ok there. Thanks for the compliments..I didn't realise it was you posting further back on the thread.
It has been years mate, where does the time go ?. I trooped with the UKG a couple of weeks ago at the space center in Leicester, it was a good day. There's only myself, Tony H and John May that are from the beginning of the UKG, that still do the odd troop now and again...We need to reunite the longer serving members...
Speak soon....bests...
Thanks Stu for ID-ing the 25 pounder and the hano..I've got both of them but I just couldn't see it. I think you get ID blindness sometimes.
As for that spoiler, I found this, 1/48th scale, but it's $375:cry.I dunno if the dozer blade from this would be any good or not..I think it's scratchbuild time again..
Is that vent coolshade or not do you reckon ?
Thanks for all the help up to know though, any more ideas are very welcome..
Cheers
Phil
