So this is hypothetical. I have the Bandai 144th scale Falcon and I thought about the idea of this in 72nd scale (and had a nerdgasm). It wouldn't shock too many people if sometime in the next year Bandai made this in the bigger scale. Now a logical thing to do is upscale this kit while adding to the parts count and detail. I could see them offering an optional round dish and optional gear boxes to kinda cover everything, more than I could see them re-working the details based on an actual filming model. So then, if they did that, how many people would be peeved that they are so close to their holy grail kit, but then Bandai mirrored the details and modeled it based on the CG ship? Personally, I wouldn't care a lick. I completely respect anyone who really cares about accuracy, but I'm more about whether I like the look of it. If the original filming model looked exactly like this (more details, I would assume with the size) I would like it just as much. I'm even okay with the dish, but I wouldn't go so far as to use the kit dish and place the ship in diorama from the OT. Still the question is, if Bandai does what you almost might expect, how many people would be peeved.
Oh, and a neat little kit. And up no problem getting it via the big river website shipped to the US. Free shipping with Prime--I build so slow what did I care about how long it took?
