It's under there as long as the jaw box opens and closes like Pacman or looks like the full scale set from TLJ.well, this confirms that the ship we always knew is beneath all those panels

I don't care what is in books, guides, games, shows, or was said by Lucas or Hidalgo or anyone. If it ain't in a movie, it ain't canon (easter eggs don't count, either). That's just the way I look at it.
I look at Easter eggs as just fun little things they put in the films for amusement, not necessarily meant to be absolute canon. For example, there were rumors of a potato and a shoe being put in the ESB asteroid field. Does that mean there are giant shoes floating around in the SW universe?So isn't an easter egg in the movie? Which by your definition makes it canon?

There is a difference between kit bashing to make the models and putting something in to be funny or be found by people that study minute details in each frame. I don't believe they made wide use of potatoes to represent asteroids, they just put one in to see if anyone would notice.I'm not disagreeing with your premise, but that is not an example of an easter egg. They are potatoes in real life that are being used to represent asteroids in the distance. If they were easter eggs, they'd be meant to be interpreted as potatoes in the story itself. That would be like saying the American LaFrance frame rails on the front of the five-foot Falcon model are meant to be easter eggs representing fire truck parts on the ship in the story.

I would consider the original fuzzy dice in the Falcon to be like an Easter egg. They were later brought back in a form that made more sense in universe but originally they were meant as a reference to hotrods like in American Grafitti.

It turns out there's a very good story reason as to why the Millennium Falcon looks a little more polished in all the footage we've seen from Solo: A Star Wars Story so far. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Solo co-writer Jon Kasdan and star Alden Ehrenreich explained that the appearance of the Falcon reflects the Captain who pilots it. In Solo, the ship's blue and white exterior and sleek interior speaks volumes about its captain Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover), who enjoys the odd party or two.
“Where Han gave it a certain shabby coolness and a dinged up quality that reflected where he was at that point in his life," said Kasdan, "this Falcon reflects its owner very clearly in its shape and aesthetic and his needs, even if those needs be a little more space to entertain."
Ehrenreich adds that there's a more functional reason why the Falcon looks so shabby once Han wins it off Lando in a game of sabacc.
“It’s safer in the galaxy to fly something that looks like a piece of junk. People underestimate you — especially if you’re up to no good,” Ehrenreich told the publication. “Kinda like how you’re more likely to get pulled over if you’re driving a Lamborghini.”
I think I found the perfect use for one of the old MPC versions I have. Between the Fine Molds and Bandai 1/72 I just have no desire to finish it considering all the work it would take to turn into a proper Falcon.
However, it looks like it may make perfect fodder for converting to a 1/72 ish iteration of this Falcon, especially considering you don't need all the surface and side wall details
It might be a fun project, but I think it's 99% likely that Bandai will be offering a 1/144 version within a few months that is accurate and a lot less work. Not to dissuade you from doing it, mind you. I've got a couple old MPCs too and I have no motivation to do anything with them.
My question is what the hell is Bandai's hold up on a 1:144 OT Falcon.
Bandais offering an OT falcon?!
No. I'm saying why the hell have they not. They have made a 1:350 OT and 1:72 OT Falcon.
I'm shocked they haven't done a 1:144 OT Falcon.
