AMT/ERTL Falcon - how much to cut sidewalls?

Depending on where you are in Ireland, in Dublin Marks Models on Hawkings street has the new Revell Falcon and Forbidden planet on the Quays also has it, about   €40 yo,yo's.

Yeah and its still raining in Dublin.

Thanks to all for the advice - much appreciated.

If you have the funds available, there are 2 kit conversion solutions to this (sidewalls) and a few other inaccuracy problems.

The first can be found here:

In an old issue of the defunct Sci-Fi and Fantasy Models magazine there was an article from someone who did this. I cannot get my copy out right now but my memory wants to say that the author cut the sides down by almost half.  Please be aware that when you cut the sides down you now have to rebuild the walkway tube that ends at the cockpit.

Good Luck,
