OK, I'm just looking for a little crash course on the Millenium Falcon filming models.The way I understand it...which is limited...there was the 5 foot Falcon built for ANH and the 32" Falcon built for ESB...then the super small miniatures of one there is on the back of the Star Destroyer in ESB....
That's it,...that's all I know about, but the more I study the original models the more I'm getting confused. There are some pics where there are clear tells of the 5 foot, but then there looks like paint differences that make me think it's the 32" one :confused
Then there is the whole front landing gear bays from ANH - ESB - 5foot - 32".....
The 5 foot Falcon seen on the MOM tours, was it the ANH version? did they go back and add the landing gear bays for ESB filming? I thought the MPC/Ertl with the 3 landing gears was accurate (structurally) to the ANH filming model.
And finally is the first Falcon seen in the "From Star Wars to Indiana Jones" book the 5 foot ANH Falcon??
If so then is the second Falcon seen, further along in the book with the ESB props indeed the 32" Falcon??

Sorry to not be up to speed, but I'm really getting into the model genre' and want to have the correct information since I'm making assumptions as of late and getting confused with my reference. :$
Thanks in advane guys.
