Bandai 1/72 PG Millennium Falcon (also the Revell Germany rebox)

I took this last photo of mine before she goes into storage for a bit while we move.

Made me unexpectedly sad seeing her go away for a while.

Made me unexpectedly sad seeing her go away for a while.

I got the Falcon out after being in storage and made this image with it. Everything survived the move except for one flap on the back, which was easily glued back into place.

Late to the party on this one but have been having a whale of a time building this beauty. Astounding the level of detail.

This is my first model since I was a kid so it has been a bit daunting but have only had a couple of mishaps (Those pipes have been giving me nightmares and surprised I’ve only snapped a couple lol).

Drilling those holes in that kettenkrad greeblie was a fun experience (NOT).

Struggling to decide whether to put the whole thing together now or leave it in chunks as it is before I paint? Have most people painted the two exposed maintenance pits of the falcon underneath before putting them into the bottom of the ship?

Can I ask what glue you guys have used to secure the photo etch parts?

Has anyone used the cockpit and gun turret photo etch from paraGrafix for this kit as I can only see finished versions for the deagastini?

Here is my 1:72 Bandai Perfect Grade Millennium Falcon build...She is in the hands of a collector now and on display in his home.
This is one of those builds I wish I didn't let go! I put a ton of work into this model.

Beautiful!

Did someone here paint his PG Falcon with Archive-X paints and can give me some advice on which paints are used on which panels?
And which paints are used for overspray on certain panels?

I made this a few years ago if you are still looking. And this is just my interpretation.
