Hey Mike, if you have time to cast the missing tiny part for the laser turret, that would be great, thanks !
I am in need of the same part!!
I highly recommend getting these Sterilite containers as you go along to keep things organized. At $9 a pop at Target for three stackable tiers (only the top tier has the green insert but you can buy additional blue inserts on Amazon), you'll probably only need 4, maybe 5 for the Blockade Runner? You can inventory what you have received, verified the contents and you won't lose or misplace parts this way!
I've inventoried, and now I have to clean and trim everyone

Can you post a pic of just the individual part, i am not sure why it's missing right now.
Fixed pic...posted pic of the part mike.....let me know!

Do you remember if it's in the first set or the add on? What is the actual kit (ie 1/25 AMT blah blah blah). I may need to buy a kit to make a new mold of just that part.

Do you mean the original build as intended , the millennium falcon.......when you hear the level of detail that was done to the paint job ( distinctly remember in an interview someone mentioned joe Johnston had cut an eraser into a footprint in match scale (which was larger something like 1/24) and used it to place foot print over the top to places where maintainence was being done )
id imagine someone took detailed negatives of all these models under construction , they should offer them up for sale
Yep. I'm doing that one and the Blockade Runner as built for ANH - not ROTJ and not the "restoration" frankenstein that tours now.
The pics are indeed out there, in private hands.

And yeah - you can see the open hatch on the side of the main body tube, so 1/24th is probably pretty close? Whatever the 5 foot falcon is

it's covered in decals and it's very similar to the original Blue 1 X-Wing and Red Y-Wing colors. Bright, not tan or greyed down as much.

Brilliant seeing it up close as the falcon, and the round rectenna of the falcon, brilliant
I had been teaching my son the history of the studio scale falcon and blockade runner and recently showed him an image of the space 1999 eagle , his reply "that looks nothing like the original falcon , I laughed out loud at that .could have saved joe Johnston a lot of heartache if my son was in charge back then
