I bought another MPC Falcon......I haven't decided what I'm going to do with it yet, I don't think I'm going to build it as 'The Millennium Falcon', it might be another YT variant.....but I've taken some comparison photos:

A comparison with the original kit:

...and an overlaid image:

I've eventually (almost) finished the actuators on the rear deck:

& started the underside actuators:

The plastic coated rod that I get from my nearest Model Shop:

The rod cut to length and some of the plastic removed:

Almost finished detailing the forward landing gear box:

Next project to do is make landing gear.

Thanks again for the support
