Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
I got hold of Gus76's Han and Chewbacca, so I went on to do the cockpit. The two will do for me.
I chose to make the most of the panel engravings by not using the decals, and instead simply brushing them with silver, with the effect of making the lamps look as though they are glistening.
I replaced the cockpit LEDs with much brighter ones, and covered the light bars with thin plaplates to diffuse the gleam.

Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
I pre-ordered mine pretty much day one they were available? Did you perhaps wait a few weeks? Maybe your order isn't in the first batch?

Well, maybe they're doing a batch today, then tomorrow, and the next day. I wouldn't worry yet.

Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
I will say this. I happened to email them this morning asking for an update. I got the email saying it shipped 10 minutes later. It may be a coincidence, but maybe worth a try to send them an email.

I'm pretty sure that the "Gundam Store" is being run by a single person out of their home, I'm sure he will get to everyone as soon as he can.

Yep. That's what I'm guessing as well. He might need a few days to get to everyone's order.

Just sent them an email. I'm sure only the purest of hearts will be granted their kits first. In which case mine may take a while. :devil

The odds of successfully getting your Falcon in the next week is 3,720 to 1.

Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
I had to wait to order for a week or so when they were first announced because I didn't have the funds available, so I will probably be down the batch list a bit. I know USA Gundam is a small company, but they are good to their word and very responsive, so I will wait, knowing it will be shipped as soon as my place in line pops to the top.
