Good progress on this one so far Tosh and Ezra! A few years back I acquired a Falcon kit and picked up a Haynes Shop Manual for the Falcon. Lots of information in that thing.

I like the shading

I've always had trouble breaking up large painted surfaces. You make it look so easy, Toshi.

Looking good.

Oh, very cool! The pre-shading really turned out nice. SW always look better a little dirty and dinged up!

Pre-shading for the purpose of weathering.  Final coat of light gray, Dolphin gray, and white mixture to be applied next.

Yeah, never noticed it till a friend was talking about it. He had some kit that had an option to build either the original or the 'ESB' version. 

Nice work there masking off the windows. Forgot just how many the Falcon actually had!!

I have no idea how many landing gear the Falcon has. Never noticed. Now if it were the Enterprise I'd fill you in on pointless useless trival details till your ears bleed. 

 

Still she's cool no matter how many landing legs she has. 

 

To verify this, I googled Millennium Falcon Landing gears.  And seven was what I saw except in “A New Hope” In which there were three.  I learn something new everyday.  Lol!

Why do I have 3 landing gears and in other Star Wars movie the Falcon has 7?  Including the Bandai Falcon.

Correct me if I’m wrong but accordingly before “A New Hope”, during Han Solos famous 12 parcep Kessel run, he damaged several landing gears and never got them repaired till the “Empire Strikes Back” episode.  Or so I’ve read.  

Still it is a very cool kit with 7 or 3 landing gears.  I also remember my younger brother had a very large Kenner Falcon toy that was also a cut-away.

Some lines highlighted in black Testors Gloss enamel.  Weathering to be done a little later with a light gray/white base coat.  Fueselauge is dry fitted and  assembled, only the landing gear is cemented.

Here are top and bottom of the Falcon Primered with some 3M primer.

Hello Toshi and Ezra,

The last time I built Sci-Fi was when I was a very young boy. I built AMT’s R2-D2, C-3PO, X-Wing Fighter, Tie-Fighter, Darth Vader’s Tie-Fighter, and a sleuth of Battlestar Galactica kits.  That definately was a long long time ago.  

 

 

I remember building the MPC R2-D2 kit, as well as some of the Battle Star kit's.

I will be looking in on you two from time to time, you will have Ezra building stuf on his own  before you know it ! ( They grow up so fast ....)

Woohoo! Millenium Falcon, my absolute favorite!

I remember having the MPC/AMT Falcon back in the 90’s. Never got it finished, life got in the way

Looking forward to your build, Mr Toshi!
