This came from Finemold's site. Could be the box art! |
 |
Finemold's 1:72 scale Millenium Falcon will be available in 2006! |
 |
Here's a shot of the upper hull. |
 |
All the detail on the massive engine section will be seperate parts! |
 |
Lot's of very small parts! |
 |
Here's a small display of the turret and landing gear! |
 |
There's a good amount of detail in the gun turret! |
| First Look | |
| Here's my first look at this beast! And what a beast it is! The box is massive! And opening this thing up is a joy. The kit was well packaged with each parts tree individually wrapped in plastic and protected in 3 main sections. Follow me as I peel back this styrene onion! | |

The final box art! |
 |
And it's a monster of a box too. Here it is in comparison to MPCs original Falcon issue. |
 |
Open the lid up and you're face-to-face with the cover sheet. It's actually very nicely printed on haevy cardstock with a gloss lamination! Plenty of pix of the model! |
 |
Under the cover sheet is another, similarly printed piece. This is the painting and decal placement reference with 6 plan views of the Falcon. I think it would look good in a frame! |
 |
Noew we get to the goods! The interior is divided into 3 main sections. |
| First Box | |
 |
The entire left half of the box is taken up by the first section. You have the top and bottom hull halves... |
 |
...beneath that is a cardborad tray with 3 sprues of parts |
 |
Lots of detail parts! |
| Second Box | |
 |
The upper right-hand section is a box containing 5 sprues of parts, a bag of screws and polycaps and the decal sheet. |
 |
Tons of engine parts and "guts on the outside" bits. Also the parts for the cockpit are here. |
| Third Box | |
 |
The third box! |
 |
More "guts on the outside parts, the parts for the gun turrets are here too, as well as the substantial stand. |
