Cool!!!!!

Let me guess, finer panel lines and a proper shaped cone?

So sweet.

Hey Tony, it was recommended that I ask you about the radar dish base.

It looks to me as if the base is too small in diameter. However, I'm not exactly an expert on the 5 footer.

Hi Astroboy!

Well, I've taken as a reference the diameter of the Bandai base. Definitively it must be bigger. I will redesign it today.

Please, PM me...

Many thanks for your suggestion!

Following your suggestions I've already updated the radar mount increasing the diameter to 12.5 mm. Now it will fit perfectly. Sorry...

For any questions regarding the old mount, PM me please. We will work it out...

Many thanks for your support!

Any plans for an ANH-style, non-mirrored sidewall replacement? Or maybe some drop in-parts for the underside hull to depict the ANH version, without the extra landing gear bays? That would be pretty spiffy!

Yeah, that would be awesome!

Yep!!, that's something to consider. Question of time...

Ordered the replacement mount plus the landing gear baffle things.

Tony, you need to update your sig to include the Bandai Falcon.

The baffles are the bit I'm most excited about getting for my Bandai! They look ace. Cheers for making these available.

The upgrade radar dish will be good too. I probably could have modded a new mount framework, but I doubt it would look as good so ordered Tony's. I might mod it and replace the curved 'platforms' on the mount with wire as some of the reference turning up suggests they aren't solid, but I might wait until definitive shots turn up before I chop anything!

Well, I just took plunge, and ordered the Bandai kit, several of Tony's parts, and the PE engine vents. Hope to see more parts from Tony, so I can finally build an accurate STAR WARS version of the ship!
