The hanger doors from the POW are needed for the detail pieces around the flat dish of the ordinance pod.
the part from the Stuka is a little square piece with a couple knobs on the sides.... Probally 9mm X 9mm in size

Thanks guys - I IDed the Junyo parts - #40 - I need FOUR of the kits for the recipe, correct?
Will revisit the Stuka now - thanks for the tip! Damn, those rivets on the wings are like an exfoliating pad! Yikes.
Ahhh - Prince of Wales hangar doors! Thanks! I figured it was evergreen sheet...

thanks Hammer
thanks Jason, however I didn't make the armature, a friend of mine did. I just supplied the aluminum, drilled some holes and tapped them.

Jason, the Stuka parts are at the bottom left of this picture (the crappy scan is from Cybermodeler)
You also need part #B5 from the Prince of Wales for the front of the central "box" (although some photos show this part missing, especially the Chronicles pics on pp188-189).
Cheers, JT
There are better scans at the studio scale modelers site, you may need to join up to see them though.

Drew up a pattern/template for the Ordnance Pod cover by scaling up the ref image to a 2" (50.8mm) dia. Each Panel is at a 45 degree angle and about 7mm wide. The Octagonal port appears to be the same size as the outside dia. of octagonal on the viewport. The PDF is the 1:1 template printed out on a 8.5"x11" legal size paper. LMK if it works, or needs revision.
(Upated PDF with revised octagonal)

Have you tried Ebay ?

Yes, there's nothing up right now. I'm going to contact some of the hobby stores in my area, and possibly take a drive to the U.S. and see what's down there on the shelves. I found the M3 LEE last year on a shelf, when this kit is discontinued. This part and the half bridge from the vintage Yamato are on the list.

the 51 is a little more rare than the 52, but not impossible.
keep a search on ebay for a couple weeks. i'd be really surprised if you don't see it pop up a couple times. should be able to bag it for under $15, methinx. unless there is a sudden rush for it for some unforeseen reason? good luck

Here is a quick sketch of the Tamiya part w/ dims so it can be compared with the Italeri kit part (if someone has it)
Re: TIE Bomber Studio Scale Parts Collection
New to the RPF! I recently started collecting the kits needed to make my own TIE Bomber!

For the Shinano, you listed the 77024...is that the same as the 31215 kit?
Haha yeah I saw some of the prices....that's why I was really hoping they were the same. I'm gonna hold off on that kit for now :facepalm
