So I've been looking into details of the original Millennium Falcon cockpit that was built for the 1976/77 "five foot" shooting miniature. It differs significantly from the full-size cockpit set, designed by Harry Lange and built later in England. But it actually appears on-screen, notably in three scenes in the Empire Strikes Back.
The topic has come up recently in a thread related to the new Bandai 1:72 Falcon kit, which is based on the 1977-era miniature. So I thought it might be good to bring this up here.

If anyone has any kit part identification information for this obscure topic, I'd love to hear from you!
