IMO, the PG Falcon is the most fun I've had building a model and the most satisfying. It's 99% accurate to the original filming miniature, which after 40-plus years surpasses all my childhood dreams. It's the most money I've ever paid for a kit, but I have zero regrets and would do it again. Bandai did its homework and every time I look at the model -- regardless of the angle or lighting condition -- I think, "Yup, it looks right." I haven't had to perform major surgery to fix problems, but it has enough pieces to make me feel like I really built the thing. I could never scratch build any of the detail to the degree of accuracy that this kit delivers, regardless of scale. Where I've added things, it's because the kit inspired me to dig deep for every last speck of authenticity (to be fair, Lab dug deep and I stole his research). Building the model has been like an archeological research project - in a good way. Tons of fun! Honestly, for me it was worth every penny.
