Bandai release schedule

Turkey Volume Guessing Man (aka Greg in Japan), shared this over at the Starship Modeling Forum:

What is the the detail at the bottom right? I'm guessing it's the opening on the underside near the left/port gear bay, but it's not shaped like I thought. Also, especially in this scale, does anyone else cringe at that gap between the mandibles and the saucer section? There are parts that seem to join to ensure the gab--without modifying. I'm not saying there is no gap on the studio model, but the size of the gap in that scale. Seems like it should be barely visible in 72nd scale, let along 144.

It looks just right to me:

Some of the pipework has changed though....(a lot of the sidewalll greeblies has also)

Perhaps its the shape of the 32" you are used to?

The thing I'm keen to find out is whether the front ESB landing gear boxes are removable for a possible Star Wars (ANH) version

The overhang looks OK at the minute, have to wait for better pics

Yeah, it's the back end that throws me off. it's pretty much at a 90 degree angle on the studio model, but angles sort of back (or rather, it angles towards the front of the ship rather than being parallel) on this model. I'm not sure I even know how to describe it.

Heres another comparison:

Well, after seeing those pics of the Falcon, I just couldn't resist, just ordered one of the 5 left available from @#$% *&#%^. $38 plus $13 shipping. Same place I ordered my T-70.

Giggity Gig...

LOL...
