Just to be clear, the FM is SMALLER than the MPC.

 

[wolverine solo]

not to mention cooler lookin when completed to.

Wow.. I thought it was ALOT smaller then the AMT kit.
It is not too much smaller.
I may just have to get this one.

Anyone seen any retailers listing this as available through their store here in the states? I just have an aversion to ordering it from overseas if it's in-country already.....

 

[phase pistol]

Starshipmodeler and Culttvman listed it I think.

Got mine from Starshipmodeler.com too. I love John and Linda... great customer service.

The kit is wonderful. The sink mark is on mine to, but very fixable IMHO. Lots of room for fiber optics if you are so inclined. Just a great kit.

Current price at CultTVman is $229.95 plus shipping.

In CultTVman's "Modeling Star Wars" forum, a modeler from Singapore has posted shots of a newly completed FM Falcon. The kit builds up very nicely, although the figures lack detail. I guess it would have been too much to hope for a scar on the 1/72-scale Han's chin.

I've spent about 4 and a half hours and still havent got the top completed, the use of the metal screws is nice for keeping those front pieces on underneath of the top hull, getting ready to deal with the back of the top hull in the morning. glad I have a pair of tweezers, some parts are so tiny.

mines together now all left to do iis paint.

pics..?.

[Betamin]

Are you all putting most of the pieces on the top/bottom and then spraying the main part as the base color and later going in to do the airbrushing/detail work? I know someone had mentioned how a lot of the tiny detail is the base body color anyway....

(Betamin, learning as he goes that the Falcon, once he buys one, will be a major job to paint. )

And I just saw that Starshipmodeler has the price at $200 now, and is out of stock.

 

[wolverine solo]

well its together but not painted, I really enjoyed putting this one together, the metal screws that hold it are a great help on this .

SSM will do layaway when they get their next shipment in. Just ask them.

When painting, don't make the mistake that Arj Kulasegaram did.
