Really impressive. It is helpful for me to see picture of the cockpit "window" installed. I am still trying to decide whether or not to include mine in the final build. I know you are excited about being close to the finish line.

I am done through issue 92 and have assembled the 2 halves per issue 93. I used Tamiya clear blue for the engine lights. I also have Chris Hollands light kit for the bottom.

I am waiting on my last shipment of issues 97-100, but I was able to put the 3 single legs together as well as put all the miscellaneous parts from all the past issues on. All that is left is the double legs and the rest of the engine deck.

I saw somebody post using guitar strings for the legs so I decided to try it. It really boosts the detail up.

Ooh yeah, the guitar strings do add. I will have to follow suit when landing gear time arrives for me. The whole thing is looking real great!

Just got my final installment billed for shipment 25 with the stand. 2 years gone by, and we are finally at the end.

Well after a little over 2 years, this wonderful project has finally come to it's conclusion. There have been a couple of bumps in the road as we all are aware, but it was really all worth it in the end. I have added the light kit from Chris Holland which really enhances the kit. I will post some night pics later along with a video hopefully. Here are some pictures of my completed Falcon ( until such time as we get the additional parts Deagostini is promising us).

Thanks for all the nice compliments everybody. Compared to many of you, this is nothing, but I am very proud of it. Here is a video with the lights and some recorded sounds.

I almost forgot that it also has an interior section. There are some scratch parts and figures I added on my own. Here are some pics of that
