Thanks J! The Bandai engineering is so so good, I just wish they were a tad bit bigger.... but ah well...
Thanks Carnet. that texture is Valspar dull coat...... never again.... But The canopy was cleared in Future and that made a great difference.

On a future post, about the Bandai INTERNAL engineering of the 1:350 scale Falcon, I'm going to go off on a tirade. I don't believe the engineering is good...I'd actually say it verges on borderline incompetent.
Whoever made the external structures and detailing did a mostly superb job (although it feels like many things were forgotten about, because "nobody would ever notice".)
But, the internal skeleton of the Bandai small kits is a farce. They barely fit, and it's required a lot of scraping and whittling to bring the model back down to correct proportions and fit. When I look at people doing their builds, I'm astonished this hasn't been mentioned before.
