Everyone over at the 32" falcon thread is busy trying to get their hands on the 1/8 porsche tranny. Building the 5 foot falcon, you could prabably get away with using a real porsche tranny!

I am currently in the process of accurizing the Hasbro toy. I've shaved off all the raised (shudder) panel lines and almost finished scribing in accurate ones. I plan to put lights in the engines and in the cockpit - and completely overhaul the cockpit. I still need to vac form a new cockpit...

boatbuilder, what is your web address (you said a few posts ago you were going to post some pics there)?

Howdy. I've jumped across from the "Super detailing the MPC falcon" thread. No one makes a Porsche 935 in 1/16 scale, only 1/12 and 1/20. I would like to get a proper scaled tranny for the MPC falcon, but obvioulsy to do that I'll need to scratch it myself. If any of you have the Entex porsche...

Rather off the topic of the MPC falcon... The old Kenner toy falcon (that I mentioned I bought) has a missing ramp. I want to scratch it, but would like some pics of the original ramp, preferably close up. If anyone knows of a site with good pics please let me know. Even better, If you have...

Have those sidewall upgrades he's offering been rescaled to the correct height in relation to the rest of the falcon? I've asked around at some hobby shops, jedi dade, everyone seems to be sure that no one makes 1/48 scale F1 kits. Bummer. These would be really handy. I just bought the a beat...

Jedi Dade, John Polacchi, and other accurizers... There is some guy on the internet who is a complete hack at scratchbuilding. You might have heard of him. His name is Tim Ketzer (only joking. Tim, you're amazing). Anyway, If you've seen his attempt at accurizing the MPC Falcon, you may have...

JPollachi - Are you sure about the 1/24 scale F1 kits? I got a few of them (1/24 and 1/20), and I could identify parts, but they looked as though they are the correct scale for the 32" falcon, and not the ERTL falcon. I got the 1/24 Ferrari 312T (not sure of the brand - looks japanese), The...

uhh...Jedi Dade, sorry:) I've just read through all the posts - seems like you are a long way through the project already. Now I know your plans more or less. Oh well, I'm sure we can still share info.

Ok. By superdetailing, I mean adding better looking greeblies. By accurizing, I mean altering the dimensions and proportions of the falcon to make it like the studio model. I plan to do both. I also plan to light the damn thing! Hope I have the patience to do it all . I think we are all in...

<posting a reply so my account doesn't get deleted> Actually, I've been convinced to accuraze and superdetail the MPC Falcon. I will probably start a new thread about it, and try and get some of you involved as well. Basically to just share information about what kits to buy to kitbash from...
