Museum quality right here folks!
I wouldn't be at all surprised if he also added those reflective 3M Scotchlite strips somewhere on the hull:
Welp, looks like I’m not done after all!You mean like this?
Welp, looks like I’m not done after all!
I had certainly planned on adding these, and wasn’t able to decided between actual tape (will the thickness throw the scale off?) or the paints that have very mixed reviews... Months later, just after weathering the engine deck I thought “wait, wasn’t I going to add those? ...Will anyone notice...?”
Do’h!
Anyways, amazing work on your falcon!
im now getting scared about actually doing mine.... i just dont think i could come up to the standards seen here D:
There's five stages of Falcon PG grief: 1) Terror 2) Nightmares 3) Inadequacy 4) Self-loathing and 5) Satisfaction.
Wow. This picture could be mistaken for a photo of the actual studio model taken from a exhibit. Fantastic work. Bravo!You mean like this?

I presume this would be a good option for the reflective strips?

Wonder how thin that Scotchlite material comes. This looks fairly thin at 0.18–0.20 mm including the adhesive:
Ive been slowly working on mine since the summer and have 95% of the Falcon assembled and primed. Note that the upper and lower halves are still separated and will be until later. I struggled with the cockpit as well and waited until the end but ended up NOT using the decals and painted it.Hey All, I’ve been stalking this amazing thread for a while and I’m now (finally) knee deep in my Falcon! (I’ll post some pics soon)
I’d really love to skip the cockpit interior for now and get all the exterior stuff done first ... if you’ve done that, how did you accomplish it, since the lower portion of the cockpit tube sits inside the fuselage?
I’m currently mulling over the choice between painting or decal-ing the cockpit and I really don’t want to go there right now lol...
