Name of Build: Millennium Falcon 29" Hasbro Conversion
Kit manufacturer: Hasbro
Scale: 1/48 (ish)
Description
This is the 29" Hasbro Millennium Falcon that has been completely torn apart from the inside out and fitted with LED's new cockpit and Randy Cooper Upgrade sidewalls and engine vents, grills and landing gear covers. A scratch built gunners well was made and an old 1/48 Tamiya pilot was used for the gunner. The cockpit crew have been modded and re shaped to resemble the pilots firing out of the Death Star at the end of ROTJ (hence the reason for no dish!) I wanted to capture the essence of the falcon and not go overboard on getting it perfect to the studio model.....though saying that I did copy the 32" Falcon from ESB for the paint job! Full build here:
