I subscribed to this model and finally the first parts have arrived. Its a huge, detailed monster. I recently built a MPC vintage Falcon complete with LED lighting and weathering to fine tune my skills for this one.
The MPC Falcon:

This DeAgostini model is an exact replica of the original prop and although comes pre-painted I will do a complete paint job on it. Here are the first pieces from Package 1.

Canons are real metal and are very detailed. I started on them and cleaned the flask the had from the molding process and polished to a nice smooth shine.
Right ones are polished, left one are untouched.

The cabin rear wall comes with a translucent decal the will later be completed with a LED system as part of the kit. This quick pic shows how light pass through it.
