                        Federation Models has one in 1/72 Scale for about $50.00

                        www.federationmodels.com

                        Rumor has it that there are new SW models coming out shortly, but I don't know who's making them or what scale they will be.

                        You could be talking about the re-releases of AMT/ERTL ?

                        My guess about those new Star Wars kits ... would be the re-release of the AMT/ERTL kits of way back when ... but, just a guess ... Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

                        There are no plans for the Falcon kit to be re-released just yet.. Or at all... The AMT kit is definately not 1/72... $50 is way too much.. Can pick them up cheap on ebay or at trading posts...Best bet is to look around.. I have a half kit of the cutaway version.. If you can find the rest of it, I am happy to help you out!...

                        One problem I got with the cutaway Sci-Fi kits is that normally in the movies the interior dimensions normally way exceeds the dimensions of the exterior Model.

                        This is especially true for the Millenium Falcon & the Aliens APC.

                        Hey Jim, The cut-away Falcon is also from AMT/ERTL kit #8789 and is based on thier earlier Falcon kit. They come up on ebay quite often and range from $10 to $30. I got one in a lot of six Star Wars kits for $30Big Smile [:D].

                        Yeah, thats very true Model Museum.. But there is a Japanese guy that has done the cutaway Falcon a whole lot of justice.. You can find it on the gallery of StarShip Modelers.. Its all lit, and well I wish I could do the same, but simply dont have the patients! It is a stunning looking replica!

                        Also, $30 for any AMT model is paying too much.. You will find a decent model out there.. As I said.. I have half of a cutaway sitting here, happy to help out in some way!

                        RCertl will re-release the M. Falcon. Not the cut-away (as of yet) but a falcon nonetheless.

                        hey there

                        mvaneersel, I sent you an email through the webmaster, if you didnt get it let me know.

                        there is a story behind my wanting this specific kit, or it wouldnt be such a big deal to get my hands on one.

                        thanks all

                        Release of the M. Falcon, X-Wing & Snow Speeder? Cool! If I could find a Speeder Bike & Shuttle Tydirium I'd have all the kits I lost! Course, I need to win the Lottery, too! LOL
