Hi RPF,
This is my first crack at the Falcon,
Much of what was done was after the fact line of thought.
Many lessons learned, and my next submission will be much better.

Any advise, critique, or criticism is welcome,
Thank you for looking

I can't tell from your photos, but it looks like you used the sidewalls from the kit which are way too thick. I really like your weathering but if you're looking for a critique I would say that you may have used too dark a grey for the painted panels. The red panels may be also too deep of a red and a dusting of light grey over the top of the may give them a more faded appearance. But all in all you did a fine job here. Well done.

Nicely done, looks great. There are probably about 100 things to do to the MPC kit if choose all of which will keep you very busy. You made some very nice improvements to the engine section and it's overall a very nice straight out build.
