Since 1978, I'm sure I've built or started to build at least a dozen Falcons. I've finished two. Only one -- my heavily modified 1/72 FM -- is the only one I consider a good, reasonably accurate Falcon because I spend hours and hours correcting the hull curvature, mandibles, etc. As tempting as it would be to say, "Well, sure, ten of those Falcons were crap but at least I enjoyed myself building them," the truth is... I didn't. Those ten Falcons were nothing but the definitions of frustration and defeat. Since I was a kid all I wanted was a screen accurate Falcon. The Falcon from the MPC box. Not the hockey puck kit inside. Sometimes, the research is fun. Sometimes, figuring out ways to make a kit more accurate is the best part of building a model. But I got past that point with the Falcon, oh, about 35 years ago! I cannot wait for mine to arrive!
