A couple of coats I think you would have enough opacity but it's up to you and what you want to spend and achieve. I think the paragrafix grill looks great. Some nice 3d printed ones on shapeways to. Im all for upgrade bits!Right, the original model also only had a white plastic plate. The deagostini one is like a mix of both.
The paragrafix grill would have another Backlight. Good idea but I don‘t know, I think even if I would paint if black the light would be visible I guess?
Awesome!Thank You!
Here once again the Top. Brightened some spots a little bit but think it is mostly finished now. Perhaps I could have done a slightly better job with my new Airbrush but you also can't compare the top and the bottom, seems like 2 different models even on the original model, with different techniques and colours. I don't know if I will paint another model in the next years
I would say the Bottom took 50 hours and the top at least 150 hours, half the time repainting things I didn't like in the first place and learning how to handle the Airbrush. The other half 70% of it I was still struggling with the Airbrush. I didn't know it can be that easy with another one. And studying the Model and the reference pics and every little detail took another 100 hours. Building it 100 hours at least. So, I wasn't quickAwesome!
I had a solid 20hrs painting my 1/72 so Im thinking was just as time consuming if not worse at 32".
You've made a fantastic job of it.

You really have achieved a stand up job here and it doesnt matter how long it took, you achieved the ultimate goal of reproduce a high quality reproduction of the Millennium Falcon. An effort to be proud of.
Cheers,

Nicely done! And that's how the model is so nice job copying it. The only thing that stands out for me is the blue light coming through the gun wells?
Otherwise its a perfect job
If you want the streaking a bit softer I airbrushed a lighter streak then followed with weathering powders.
