The Falcon: Fine Molds 1/72

[TimT]

Not much I can add to all that's been written or all the builds that have been shared of this amazing kit. Even if the mandibles don't sit at the right angle, it's still a majestic piece of engineering; nearly a thousand parts - from the hull halves to a greeblie smaller than a nail paring - all of it fitting perfectly. It's a hypnotizing process to watch the layers and layers of detail build across the hull, and an epic process to paint it all. 

 

I learned more building and painting this one several years ago than I have on any other kit. My addiction to WW2 planes started here, which is perhaps the best tribute I can pay to the geniuses who designed the original.

Well done Falcon, I truly dream of the day I can build one of these.

It's a dream worth fulfilling. They're not cheap, but the whole experience of building and painting is a thrill. I gave it to my brother and it was worth it for the reaction.

Fabulous work. I've enjoyed identifying the greeblies!
