Thank you for showing me your precious photos! It's the antenna when it was attached to the Blockade runner. I didn't know there was a tower on the onion.
Can I propose "Shamon" as a new word for the hobby?
I feel deep Shamon at this latest post. To my mind, the word Shamon means this:
1.) The feeling of shame that you did not see, identify, or know this piece.
2.) The equal feeling of gratitude that someone, namely Shamon, DID come along to tell you.
Shamon: the feeling of shame and gratitude in equal measure for a new ID that was "hiding in plain sight" all along...
Deep Shamon: the feeling of shame and gratitude in equal measure for a new ID, with the added sensation that this isn't the last time this is going to happen...
I'm not sayin' I was a Falcon expert before Shamon came along. I'm just sayin' that Shamon makes me feel like a rookie every time he posts...
Thanks Shamon! You are legend.

Thank you, Studio Kitbash. But I'm afraid to be praised so much. lol
I just love Falcon, and I can't help but want to know all the parts used in Falcon. The biggest mystery for me is the many unidentified parts that exist in the "Chieftain pit".
I found another part today. However, there are 11 parts that have not yet been found in this place.

Oh wow. And here I thought that was just a bit of standard styrene tubing. Good catch.
You're killing me, Shamalls!

I so love maps, where I have almost all the kits. But where the hell do we find, Space Screws, ; )
Space…duh…
Good call, as I was previously thinking to look for them at SpAce Hardware stores...
Help me out here. What do I need to remove from the Sat V parts?
One of the keys to note is that the big Kettenkrad part isn't perfectly centered. It's offset slightly.
I discovered I cut down that part too much and so had to re-add a small bit of styrene at the bottom to make up the difference. You'll never see it once painted, but just something to be aware of, don't cut it down as far as I did.

Thanks Dave. So is the orientation A or B?
I believe it's A.
I chose A because that second 'hump' that you have, just forward of the Tiger I hatch, isn't in this photo. There's only one 'hump' left over by cutting into the Saturn V thrust plate, and that's aft of the hatch.
Bandai doesn't have either of them back there, so I think they got it quite wrong.

In this photo, an important part is shadowed, and it is impossible to determine whether there is another hump.
