'Mechs and parts ID help needed
« on: 17 April 2011, 17:15:51 »
Need help IDing the following 'Mechs and parts.  Parts might be a long shot but worth the try.







The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy states: "There is an art to flying, or rather a knack. Its knack lies in learning to throw yourself at the ground and miss. ... Clearly, it is this second part, the missing, that presents the difficulties."

'C' may be a PPC from a Jupiter.

Cool and thank you for the 'Mech names.

Parts A and B were correct.

C is laser from a Ghost, E is mandible from a Dark Age Spider
Do not have a Ghost or DA Spider.

I know they are for 'Mechs I have.  I have way to many unassembled to go through each one right now.

The mechs are correct, as are parts A and B.
How about some closers pics of parts C thru E, from maybe 2 angles?

That's the first time I've seen an unseen P-hawk IIC. :) nice.

Thank you to all. 

All pieces have a correct home now.

Appears I did have a Jupiter after all.  Had it misspelled on my master list.
