With the absence of Falcon Kits recently, and my own need for an accurate sidewall set for my MPC, I have decided to embark upon a very ambitious project, and that is to create the most comprehensive, screen-accurate MPC upgrade kit since Jack Smith's, and sell a limited run of these kits.
I have been studying the 32" falcon and all the excellent resources available on it, including part ID maps and kit lists put together by fellow Falcon builders. To those people: thank you
Naturally, I could easily cast the parts off the Finemolds Falcon (which I finally have) but I don't want to run into legal issues and so instead I'm hand making most of the parts you'll need, and casting a few parts from donor kits. (For the sake of preserving my work, I won't be releasing the list of kits I've used until later on, sorry if that seems like a dick move on my part but hey.)
Some of you will have already seen my photo etch kits:
And here are a couple of photos showing what I've been doing as far as side walls and engine deck parts goes:
It's early days, but I hope to have a full kit available by the end of the year.
Good luck to all you Falcon builders!
