Star Wars Millenium Falcon Parts ID Guide

[elend]

I have found some cool japanese blog, where a guy identified nearly all (?) of the Falcon's parts, which ILM used back then. Even if you don't plan to scratchbuild a Millenium Falcon, it sure is an interesting sight!

I bet the guy works in or is the owner of a model shop ;D ;D ;D

Curious. The parts all look like they are Tamiya. ;D

ILM kitbashed from all kinds of models. Many armor kits ended up on the Falcon.

Incredible! I plan to make my own 5 foot ILM Model exactly as the way it was done BACK...in the day. I can't tell you what a presence that model has. I remember seeing it from a distance and it was just SOOOO BIG! it was AMAZING beyond expression to look at the model up close, It was so well built and tidy and sturdy.

Gah! It's in Japanese! Would be something fun to take on!

and if you want to build a scratch falcon, look at Tim Ketzer's site: http://www.ketzer.com/millennium_falcon/index.html

I used to have a picture diagram with the call outs of each part, but I cannot find it a the moment
