Omegaman55 has had a post on his thread by Ozzy with his overall dimensions to modify the MPC Falcon:
Hi Oamegaman55,
I only just saw your post regarding the side walls height etc. So if you dont mind I have cut and past something I posted on SSM forum regarding the same thing. You mentioned 14mm and 16mm for the side walls which I think would have come from John Martins build at SSM. When speeking to John about my first build we found John had mis-quoted the side walls height in his blog. His were 15mm not 14. He has no idea why he put 14mm.
Anyway, If you have not already made adjustment to the walls here are my measurements and adjustments to the AMT Falcon against the 5 foot falcon. I have never made comparisments against the 32inch falcon so I dont know if it is a good reference when converting AMT to represent the 32 inch.
Mandible walls 15mm
Secondary circile Walls 15mm or 15.5
Engine grill 16mm
Overhang secondary circile 4.4mm
Overhang engine grill 8.75mm
Viewable area after overhang
Mandible walls 1.5mm
Seconday circile walls 13.5mm
Engine grill 11.5mm
For those wanting to correct the dish

Side cones/escape pods
