We all know that the new landing gear was added to the 5' falcon for empire, but what other changes occured? Do you guys thing that more battle damage was added? Was it given a repaint?
If so, are there many reference photos around from before the refit?
To my knowledge, there was only one 5' built and seeing it in person the other week, it does have the gear boxes added to the bottom. It looks like all the rest was original. The 32" was built for the fancy flying shots. I didn't know they modded the fiver until I saw it. Here's the video, but there are also other shots from the star wars exhibit that's been going around the last few years.
If I get back there before the exhibit leaves in April, then I'll bring a mini tripod and do long exposure of the underside to see what is missing in these videos. The minimal lighting sucks on a most of the models, but one like the AT AT is full lit form all angles. I don't understand that.
