Your falcon is coming alone really nicely. Love seeing the near completed bottom. Also love your pics with the costumes and such, especially Jabba, you lucky dog, lol.

Well i was most shocked today when my local newsagent told me that issue 47 was in  We have more lower hull plating and greeblies but the icing on the cake is what we are starting to do in issue 48  Looks like we get another jig    Darren

Just a heads up regards fitting this bridging detail in issue 47  even thou it can fit both ways, it is not very clear on the instructions. If you look at the picture below of original filming model there is a small lug (centre of the picture) just below the 4 square holes, you will be able to identify which way this goes.   Hope this helps it trying to get it correct. Darren

I would like to say I am very pleased with Deagostini's service for getting back issue's. I am fully up to date now. Ordered 2 issue's on separate occasions, one arrived within 14 days. The other 8 days. I have my lower turret now  I dry fitted some of the greeblies, I am loving the emense detail she is going to be an awesome ship when finished.  Darren

Issue 48 turned up today, don't know where I'm going to put a second jig, plus all the parts are stacking up. Can't believe it's been almost a year. This issue also includes the start of a paint tutorial using tamiya paints.     Darren

So exciting seeing how far I have yet to go.
Must second having had great service from the Phone staff here in North America. Polite and on the ball.
Can't wait to see more of the topside come together!

Me too, the first half included the interior hull, so the top hopefully should come thick and fast Darren

Great build so far does the magazines show you how to paint each panel or just what colors to use My current builds: The Millennium Falcon, Suzuki GSX 1300R Hayabusa, Ford Mustang Shelby

Got issue 49 today, includes mire top plating (which is good) Plus some more good painting tips, which include making another mdf/ply base and using a lazy suzan for rotating the falcon for ease of painting.   Darren

Does it give you a guide to painting all of the different marking colors on each panel piece? My current builds: The Millennium Falcon, Suzuki GSX 1300R Hayabusa, Ford Mustang Shelby
