About this deal

It IS the Millennium Falcon, all the work that went into it....all the details, super fine details,....but the model was BIG & heavy and hard to get those agile & active shots. Yes, actual gear WERE made, but unless someone has better info on this, I believe they were made and added to the “32 incher“ later for the modified trilogy, because it is the “32 incher“ that was scanned or photographed for insertion into the films, replacing the unattended and PARKED set Falcon images, thus landing legs were required at that point. Personally, I think that was a rotten choice.

Bandai really went all out here. There has never been such an accurate and detailed model of the falcon. I don't have the PG Falcon, unfortunately, but I've built two other Bandai Star Wars kits and I can give some advice on the decals questions - The right side also received its appropriate framework and further connections from the middle to the lower level. The first three panels are painted red. It was quite complicated because I hadn’t thought about installing the flap control later.

Tolle Arbeit bei der Verwitterung! Ich liebe die Modelle Millennium Falcon und Bandai. Eines Tages werde ich eins haben. Auch als Italiener kann ich nicht anders, als zu sehen, dass es die gleiche Größe wie eine Pizza hat 🍕 . Ciao! Separate pieces for each detail were created to recreate the deeply-detailed sides of the ship in a three-dimensional fashion. The free-running pipes are represented in combination with individual pieces for a closer resemblance to the studio model. I am not sure what impresses me more - the build or the build space. One dirty the other tidy. Guess there is some serious photoshopping going on 😉 What are the best 3rd party add-on's? Are they necessary? Shapeways, don't need too much though - Greeblies The art of these surfaces, which consist of many individual panels, is to emphasize them differently. This creates a sense of depth.

However, if paint were to flake off the red replacement part, the original color of the falcon should not appear underneath, but rather the primer of the spaceship from which this plate originally came. The 5 foot model was then also modified with the 2 extra landing gear boxes & gear for the ship landing on the Cloud City platform. And everyone seems to assemble then spray (rather than spray parts before assembly). Is this right too? The precisely recreated quad laser cannons are mounted onto the detailed turret seats and triggers.Theres a thread over at Starship Modeller about the likeliness of Bandai releasing a large scale Millennium Falcon model kit hopefully soon, the main topic being whether it will be based on the 5 foot Falcon or the 32" Falcon......and the likeliness that it would be a tie in with the new film coming out at the end of the year. After that a lot of posts were about how to spot differences between the different models, so I thought I'd make it easier The “32 incher” never had actual landing GEAR added to it for ESB…at least none that was seen in the unmodified OT. Only the “5 footer” had the gear. This is just one reason why why I stated in the afore mentioned SSM thread that the “5 footer” IS the miniature we see both landing and taking off from Bespin.
