Hey Guys!
First sincere apologies for any confusion.
I have been rebuilding an old first issue MPC Millennium Falcon to more closley represent the original 5' Miniature seen in Star Wars on the big screen back in 1977. I didn't like the changes to her for "Empire"or the 32" Falcon's Look. They enlongated the cockpit, added the extra landing gear boxes Etc...
Having built two Fine Molds 1/72 Falcons, I thought I could tackle the challenge.
To do so, and hopefully bring the old kit up to Fine Molds standards I had to..
Disgard the kit's supplied Cockpit and Cockpit Tube.
Trim the sidewalls down to correct height
Add an assortment of scratch-built details, aftermarket details ETC...
As great as the Fine Molds kit is, It wasn't the version of the Falcon I loved.
Pix to follow.
