Finally finished.

Was a pleasure to build albeit strange using no adhesive.

The kit really does fit very well and the lighting (engines/cockpit/legs/boarding ramp) wasn't too complicated.

A couple of nice options such as full flight mode, legs up and ramp closed but then you lost some of the lighting effects so I went with legs/ramp down to maximise the lighting.

I'm absolutely rubbish at figure painting so left out Han,Luke,Chewie etc.

The weathering was done with mainly enamel wash and the laser damage and front burns and engine vents done via an airbrush with vallejo air.

There are many different examples of the falcon with varying weathering so I just applied my own version!

Overall, a really nice kit to build.

Even on my cheap Chinese Android phone, I can tell that is very good indeed. Most excellent!

That's a cracking piece to have sat on the mantelpiece. Very envious. Beautiful work all round Del
