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.

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.
