Scott !!! Wait a minute !!! 89$ AMT Falcon ??? Where in the world do you live ???
Cuz ! what ever version of the AMT Falcon are only going for 25$ Max ~~ in Canada or the U.S.A. 89$ sounds like a lot of money for a 30 year old kit !!!
I have One of the 2 AMT Falcons ! I managed to "Glue back together" the Top section of my "Cut Away" version and was in the process of trying to enhance it with Greebies... to try to compensate for the obvious lack in details...
But after buying ...Most of the "after market" Kits for it : Photo Etch Grills, Resin Cockpits, All around Trench details, Landing Gear bays and even a Lighted Engine Acrylic Plug... I am now the owner of a 350$ AMT Falcon.... wow... of course I did that over a period of a 2 years... so it didn't Kill my bank account ! and then the Fine Molds MF came out .... Dang !
Was it worth it... it should be ! If I ever get back to it !
The Fine Molds MF is a Superb kit ! and I am still waiting to start it.... I to ! have trouble with my Air Brush Skills... and want to do the AMT kit as a Freighter first... and then move on... but THAT'S ME !!!
I will hone my skills on the AMT and even use it for experimentation... paint techniques, Battle damage, and even some scratch building...
After all it's only a highly modified YT-1300 freighter....
You know your limits ! and you and only you know How far you want to push this build...
There is always those Pre Painted Revell kits... which are a bit pricey ! but you could always be used as a Starting point ....
Here is a few shots of my AMT ... Nothing Magic I'm Afraid !!! but where there is a Will there is Hope.... Remember that... the AMT kits were the only game in town for over 30 years...
so... many many peoples have stept in your shoes... some have even decided to Scratch build the whole thing ..
Sci fi has no limit... only your imagination ... and the Thickness of your Wallet ! LOL

After all those efforts… and now looking at the Fine Molds kit… I lost my energy to continue my AMT but… will get to it eventually ! I’m deep up to my neck with my Scout troopers… the Falcon or should I say the Falcons.. will have to wait !!!
Good luck with your project !!!
See ya !
