Thanks for your efforts with this, mate! It's a great help for me.
blakeh1, thank you for that comparison. I'd already been eyeing my mothballed MPC cut-away for raw materials to scratch-build my full interior. Now I know it'll fit the Bandai better than I'd hoped. Still holding out for an ESB version or aftermarket mod parts before springing for the PG. I'm already going to have my work cut out -- I'd like to minimize just how much modding I'll have to do.

This may be a good resource for people looking at buying or have one ready to go. It's a pretty exhaustive run-down on the Bandai 1/72 Falcon

I'm not sure if I mentioned this on the other thread you posted these pics to, but you did a right bang up job making those sidewalls, well done sir! :thumbsup
Dug out my MPC cut-away kit to see how it compares... With my steel rulers I got a hair under 40mm for the cockpit diameter, so that matches. Where/how are you measuring the saucer? Going flat across, widest point to widest point (and bearing in mind that those cut-ins for the airlocks will impact things), I get 327mm -- well short of 34cm -- and when I do an actual diameter measurements (still flat across) I get 333mm -- closer, but still not 34cm. Were you measuring over the hull curvature? That's the only way I get close to 340mm...
Still and all, I've pulled out the interior pieces I might be able to use. Okans continue to be drawn up...
