I don't think so, I think it's just something for people to look at, doesn't look that good, or accurate

Agreed! Kinda looks like crap.I don't think so, I think it's just something for people to look at, doesn't look that good, or accurate
Yea but who are "they"? Lucas film, Disney? Whoever produced it will tell us a lot about what it is?It doesn't have to be. It's just a concept model. They didn't want to spend the time making the rest of it when all they really need was to see the new dish in context. It's not for reference for the final model, it's just a study model.
pictures of the prototype deagostini falcon and some of the kit parts to come in the link below.
the prototype is quite frankly appalling. i did not realise stevie wonder painted star wars models in his spare time.
the saving grace is the kit parts actually look ok.

Those pics of the falcon totally gutted me I hope that was not used in the movie just for the new dish reference like others mentioned

Thanks, Jaitea! You saved me. The line to the Episode VII exhibit was so long we were told we'd never get into the room, so I never even saw the models. Good to know they were just concepts. I can tell myself i didn't miss too much.
I did study the DeAgostini prototype up close. Yes, the paint job is wretched, but it is just a prototype that most people are repainting anyway.The castings are good to my eye. Hopefully the new tooling will fix things like the lack of any overhang on the plating where the saucer connects to the mandibles.
As for the solid grills on the back deck, I pulled one off (it was already loose!) and there's solid plastic directly underneath, but it could be cut out. I was unable to see if the metal support structure would then show through, but it's possible.
The plastic windows, including the ones in the gun bay, definitely have to go.
The model is huge and impressive in person. I don't know where the heck I'm going to put it, but I think I need it.
I needed more than one day at Celebration, and Saturday was the wrong day to go!
