Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
I never ever realized there was no armor plating there! That's so awesome! Man, the things I am discovering about this miniature. It's modeling and archeology rolled into one! Since I'm modeling the studio miniature, not the fictional ship, there's no way I'm adding plating there. So glad Bandai left it off. It's easier to add the plating if you want it than it would be to scrape it away.
I don't know if I would say it's a mistake. It's the original after all. There's also plating missing behind the right docking tube corridor on the bottom. Every subsequent Falcon whether the 32 inch or the movie set was a copy therefore is mistaken IMHO.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171207/38e275d7e39a32286464567a48aaf1d6.jpg
