Must have Millennium Falcon Perfect Grade corrected parts 3d files?

[MangyDog]

So been brewing over finally getting round to start putting this kit together...
But before I do, I remember theres been some talk that even this great kit isnt quite "perfect" and that there are some must have alterations to make.

Im aware there was also talk of some STL files to print out to correct certain things....

Sooooooo
Is there already a repository of must have fixed parts or shall we make one here?

I don't know of any files, but there are people offering parts on Shapeways.

This is the thread of ultimate knowledge:

Bandai 1/72 PG Millennium Falcon (also the Revell Germany rebox)

I replaced the baffles around the landing gears with 3D printed versions. I also added some thin guitar strings to simulate the piping and hoses that are hanging down when it's landed.

The main problem with having "perfect" parts is that almost every scene its a different ship.

Anyone know of a new source for parts (or ideally printable files), now that Shapeways has gone the way of the Dodo?

There’s a member Darrin Hurd over on the Studio Scale Section of the model building threads who is creating files to print your own Falcon

YAFF - Yet Another 5 Footer Falcon Build

Bit of a Build Log for my take on the 5 footer. Inspired by so many great builds, and waiting to paint my R2, I decided to start another near marriage ending project. I was originally going to cheat and grab the Gambody one, but its awful just a whole lot of incorrect parts all cobbled...

He’s still adding & refining & obviously they are designed to be printed a lot larger than 1/72 scale, but it is worth a look

look for 308 bits on facebook. I believe you can purchase his parts directly from him now.
