Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
I have a DeAgo and have built and given away 2 1/72 FM falcons. If I was you,I would get a Bandai. I am heavily modifying my DeAgo with 3D parts I've made to change out many of the 32" details to 5', but I'm not the guy who builds models of filming Miniatures, I'm building a model of the Falcon and to me that is the 5 footer, but I'm not a rivet counter by any stretch, I just want it to look "right" to me. The Bandai, as noted, is going to go together with ease and need no mods really. I will buy a Bandai as its more "desk size" than the DeAgo, which is going to be a large wall display in my home theatre with my SS models and props.

Indeed. I think I have to choose between the DeAgostini and Bandai 1:72 models. The Bandai is vastly superior and plays into my childhood memories better. But the DeAgostini is a crappier kit and therefore more fun to modify and improve. But I don't really need both!
