This kit is all the rage right now! I've found a decently priced (but still expensive!) kit but I'm reticent to take the plunge. If I could make it worth my while in trades, I will pursue it. For reference, I'm building the ANH TIE Fighter (I have a thread over at RPF under another, lazier username: https://www.therpf.com/forums/threads/op...ad.360022/)

The M23 contributes at least 11 parts to the TIE: C11 (cut into 3 parts), D47 (maybe D4 and D12), E24, E25, E26 (maybe E30), G7, G8, G29, H27.

The rest would be up for grabs. Anything from whole sprues to single parts.

This link shows what I've got and what I'm looking for to do a TIE build: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...=568617224

I would prioritize kits that tend to be expensive, but from which I only need one or a small number of parts. Not all of these are super-expensive kits, but the price/part ratio doesn't meet a certain threshold I'm trying to stay below. Those would include but are not limited to:

1. Airfix 1/25 P-51D Mustang (trying to resolve part number; can provide image)
2. Airfix 1/25 Harrier: (pilot figure)
3. Bandai 1/48 Anything with a Pz.Kw.V chassis (including Panther-G; Sd.Kfz173): B5, B8
4. Bandai 1/48 Any kits based on Panzerkampfwagen IV chassis (incl. Nashorn): A11
5. Hasegawa 1/450 Yamato (hey, a fella can dream), 3 parts (but they don't seem to be numbered on the sprue)
6. Tamiya 1/12 Datsun 240Z or 240ZG: C9
7. Tamiya 1/25 Centurion: C33, E1.
8. Tamiya 1/35 Schwerer Panzerspähwagen (8-Rad) Sd.Kfz. 232: D12, D27
9. Tamiya 1/35 US M10 (or M36 Jackson) Tank Destroyer: C2 (I believe it's the same sprue in both kits)

Let me know here if you have any interest.

I'm looking to trade for part B20 from a Tamiya 1/700 Kumano (No. 77019). See attached images.

Hi gang!
I just joined the site, and can't wait to explore the kit scans for my projects.
I have been a professional model maker for almost 40 years (YEE-GADS!!)
and have worked on over 40 films. You might have heard of a few.

Hello everyone! I have been interested in starting a MF build, I recently started resin printing and have landed here to revel in the finer details! I am amazed by the hard work and dedication to the craft within these forums. I am not exactly sure where to start, but this site will be indispensable!

Hello! I am from Japan. Unfortunately, I can't speak English.

Would it be possible to have a parts exchange area where members could post kits/parts they're looking for, as well as things they have available to others? Possibly this has been done before and maybe is more trouble than it's worth, but it's worth considering. There are probably lots of orphaned parts and kits that could be used in other projects.

I'm new to studio scale modelling, but have done lots of scale modelling in the past (sculptures mostly). Looking forward to learning lots from the folks here!

Hello! I'm a 19 years old STAR WARS fan from Japan, now I'm trying to build 1/72 millennium falcon as precise as possible.

Hey folks; it's pengbuzz from RPF and MacrossWorld! Saw jcoffman99 started this place up in a post on RPF and thought I'd drop in!
