Ouch. You nothing but broken parts and headaches AND you subscribed three times? Was there no other choice than subscriptions those first three times?
Deagostini Falcon. Anyone seen this?

I work as a qualified chef for a living, so at the time I was unable to visit a newsagent during business hours frequently enough to subscribe via that method.
Now I work in a place that'll let me get packages delivered to work, and I only work 2 nights a week, so I'm able to have some what of a normal life these days.
I really wish they would have done landing gear after the bottom, then sidewalls, then the top so we could see it built from the ground up, skip the second jig, etc.

They are. The landing gear still hasn't been completed as of the last tour of the production model in Italy.
The sidewalls and mandibles will start around issue 70-80, when we get the second blueprint. The way the kit is engineered, the sidewalls are pivitol to how the two halves join together. That's why we don't get them earlier.

Um... probably LOL... but then again if the cockpit tube was already molded into the bottom, a single jig would have worked. LOL
Cockpit tube, rectenna, engine deck. The bottom jig wouldn't be able to incorporate the different details the top hull has in comparison.
We can. The bolts included in issue 54 can be used to suspend the Falcon off the jig. They screw into the mounting holes for the wall mount.

The ban log says it was for claiming others work as his own.
This thread is really not the place for discussion of LrdSatyr8's ban. I understand this is important to a couple people, but please let's keep this thread on topic.

The interior will help hold the top frame in place, but the mandibles will be fully framed like the top and bottom hulls. I'm not sure if there'll be any internal framing for the sidewalls, or if it'll just be clever greeblie positioning to hide the screw heads.
As for Australia, no sign of the Falcon in any Adelaide CBD newsagents.

I'm looking for reference pictures of the fans (not the grills) on top of the 5-foot model. Does anyone have photos?

As far as I'm aware no photos of the actual fans exist and the only references for the fans you will find are those of the fans through the grills. However, they appear to be very similar to fans like this one below. The actual fans used have 9 blades and are smaller in length than the diameter of the centre.
Disregard the photo below here. I don't know how to delete it.
