Thought this would be the most beneficial place to post this. I found a few other threads regarding this exhibit of Star Wars: Where Science meets Imagination, but I wanted to post my findings on the scale models. I've always known that they used model kit parts to make many of the vehicles used in the early movies, but until I started looking at the props specifically for that purpose, I never saw what they actually used. Here's some of what I found, mostly tank and car parts, though I'm sure there were many other things I didn't realize.
On the Rebel Blockade Runner in the opening sequence of ANH, there were many car exhausts and tank parts.
Also the front end shovel from a dump trunk used as an antennae.
Millenium Falcon
Top of an engine with "Champion" decal added.
