Revell Millenium Falcon kit

[Kilroy]

Hello, I would like to join the group build with a Revell Millenium Falcon kit. and am wondering what color paints i should purchase? ..any help will be muchly appreciated, thanks This is my first sci fi kit build ...

For the base coat I chose HUmbrol 147 & 28 mixed 25/75, but I'm about to start a scratch built Corellian ship which I'll be using a Floquil Grime & White mix. I'v made a Ref for my 32" falcon here:

Neat, Thanks

Well, I didn't realize it was a snap-tite kit or that it was prepainted. I guess I'll add a few touches like doing a bit of lighting and detailing the pilot's cabin as there is alot lacking there. Also will repaint and try to weather it. Here are some sprue shots:

Fair warning, the sidewalls on that kit are way too high.
The rest of it can look good with some weathering, though

Those figures are far better than the old MPC kits.....

Those figures are far better than the old MPC kits.....

agreed, they actually look like figures and not bird turds...

looking foward to seeing what you do with this kit

I'd love to see one of these babies get customized. I think they're a great size!

Done it last year "almost" as is with a good weathering...

Quite happy with it !

The easy kit pocket is good too

Yeah, I'm looking forward to the build up too. May I ask, what scale is this kit, it looks like a good size to work with.

 

[YOULI]

Some say 1/96, all I can say myself is that it's a bit smaller than AMT or FM kit, for the easy kit. The Pocket must be 1/200 ?
