Correcting DeAgostini 32" Falcon Parts

[Hope4Sun]

Well I'm still wet behind the ears as far as it comes to model building (threw myself back into it about a year ago since my childhood and yet to complete my first build the Finemolds 1/72 X-Wing, thread on this coming soon). And though I'm not planning on building my DeAgo falcon for sometime I've started gathering reference and correcting some of the parts of which I'm going to try and cast as helping a few friends too.

Heres the first part, I reordered issues 1 an 3 from France to get a head start on the tunnel sections, here's what I have marked out so far (please feel free to correct me as I said I have a lot to learn but hoping this may give a little something back)




And took a leaf out of the Japaense model masters and made a took to help with the bottom notches.






More coming soon, including the finished item and then onto the many changes required on the cockpit tunnel, hopefully someone finds this useful.

Hi, thanks for this useful reference..will be watching this with interest. To confirm, these are changes to make based on the 32" Falcon and not the 5 footer?

Now that Australia is getting this series this thread will be very useful.

That is correct, all reference is 32" studio model
