Just received the latest issues 10-13.
The interior has bothered me from the start as it looks really cheap and is poorly detailed and a million miles from accurate. So far Ive built a large piece of framework and after adding the plastic panels it just looks cheap and the joints are very visible. Its just cream plastic with a little black wash. No doubt modding it heavily will make it a great item but I dont want to spend £1000 plus the modding when the hasbro only cost me £20 to begin with. Those thinking they're going to have something like a MR Falcon are going to be very let down. I can get nearly 3 Randy Cooper Destroyers for the price of this Falcon by the time I add a few Shapeways parts.
I look forward to those who heavily mod these Falcons but I can't justify the cash on it anymore and I only felt like that after the recent parcel landed on my doorstep. Basically one issue is £9 for a sliver of plain plastic, a bit of frame and a few screws.
Is there a way I can search only for the DeAgostini Falcon in Shapeways. When I do I get all the available parts for MPC, HAsbro, Fine Molds etc. I put in DeAgostini Falcon in the search criteria, BTW.

Hi Tony, any chance we can have this to for the HASBRO Falcon?
There are parts from what I've seen that make me wonder a little. In the initial advertisement video, the cockpit windows look very toyish, but in the same token if your going for accuracy, who's going to put in windows anyway. So what I'm getting at is that no matter what, it's not going to be perfect. I think it's all about how we interpret what looks good and any improvements that we can make. I personally, feel like I have to repaint it in the end to look the way I want it, or perceive as looking accurate and good. I like the fact that it looks like a lot of the detailed pieces are going to be added on separately and not part of the original mold. This is part of what makes a model look like a real ILM model in my opinion. When the add-ons or greeblies are part of the mold, they lose detail. I look at my MR Falcon and am blown away by the detail in every little piece that is there and true to the original.I have to agree with celticwarrior, there is a lot about this model that isn't worth the money but at the moment it seems like the best option available. I will say that if bandai does a large scale falcon I think a lot of people might drop out.
Pics of these cheap looking parts would help a lot, because opinions about parts that have not been out yet as well as opinions of people that have not yet received or actually even touch any of the parts seems a bit of a stretch.
Ive received the parts as have loads of UK subscribers/buyers. If your not subscribing 14 is out and 15 later this week in the UK. How its a bit of a stretch when ive got the inhand items is beyond me.
The falcon will look good if you spend a small fortune on aftermarket parts and spend alot of time painting it etc but out of the box , for the money and in my opinion (based on what ive got) its not worth the cash.
As for you saying the model looks really good theres little to no finished pics out there and the pics they put up for the interior are poor.
