[QUOTE="retiredadguy, post: 5066503, member: 132393"] I did the same thing. No you aren't "Am I taking on too much and should I attempt it or commission it out to a more experienced modeler lol?" Build AND paint it all your self. It will look sweet. A Muscle Falcon, for lack of better description. Dissassemble it. Oh and this is just my opinion so take it for what it's worth . You really do not need to add any light etc. more work with not a great pay off. just say'n. You will need to cut it downing the lower cargo bays. Cut it flush with the hull, sand the edges were you cut it, and drop the cut off bays into the new openings. they will slide right in glue it up with gorilla glue thick. Cut the upper turret gun restraint flush with the hull, push them up through the new openings and glue. look just like hull plate factory. get rid of the top mandible rocket things, cut some small styrene pieces to cover the holes, Oh and I left all the wireing intact just removed them and put them all back in when re assembling the "model". I'll try and snap some photos just so you can see what I mean. It's a really fun project. your main tool is a deep razor saw. You will also need to cut the internal speaker housing down. I also glued all the removable top panels and gutted out the interior. Don't sell your self short. Best regards, e [/QUOTE]
