That looks very, very similar to the Entex 1/8 Porsche 935 and from what I know about the Falcon only a very small part of this was used at the tip of the upper mandibles on the 32in Falcon. I'm not sure if this was used anywhere else on this particular Falcon though.

Not sure if I missed it.. but what scale is this Falcon? :confused

No scale is indicated but it's 4in shorter than the actual filming miniature and that is sometimes quoted at 1/48 scale. How accurate that is I can't tell.

Ok, thanks. I was asking in case i decided to buy doner kits parts to add the the falcon.

I'd be looking at 1/48 scale armour for donor kits rather than the usual 1/35 scale.

well... Its kind of loaded right. If the real deal (pick your falcon 5(ish) foot or 2.5(ish) foot) falcon and then whatever was used on the real needs to be scaled to the Hasbro. if you're going for the 5 footer then about 1/2 of the scale of whatever donor kit is what you'd be looking for - all of this is in the "ish". if it was 1/35 on the 5 footer then a 1/72 kit of the same subject - and so forth. if your going foer the ESB look and it was a 1/35 then a 1/48 would be "close"
Its never going to be exact, unless you 3d print the parts in the right scale.

Thanks for the info Jedi, :thumbsup
I guess i was looking for a starting point... but either way greeblies from both scales would look ok, i think.

Did some work lengthening the canopy today.
The ring is 5mm deep and has made a lot of difference.
Also stole an idea from Jaitea (thanks
) and cut the bottom half of the canopy from the rest of the ship.
Its going to make it so much easier to scratch build the interior with that done.
On that note does anyone have any clear pics of the rear walls and other inside bits that I can print out to make that task a bit easier.
I've image googled for some but so far nothing really usable.
