Here are a few pix of the new FineMolds Falcon I took this weekend:
Lookin’ good!
Seems to be just about the same size as the old MPC/AMT/AMT-Ertl kit.
Looks a little better, though! [;)]
Costs a little more, too…[V]
But I’m sure gonna get one! [:D]
That looks really neat!
Hey, where’s the armor coverage from the show, Brian? Don’t forget your armoured pals! [;)]
No worries, Larry! You’ll find several posts already there!
This one may tempt me as well. Always wanted a decent Falcon.
Regards, Rick
The first time I saw it I thought "I gotta have one…$180 bucks OUCH!
Now Its more like "I gotta have one…$180 bucks OUCH! But look at all you get [:D]
Did they have any samples of the cockpit yet?
Matt
Nope; just what you see in the pix!
But with over 800 parts in the kit, I reckon it should be a pretty decent cockpit!
Tempting, very tempting, but I just don’t know if I could justify paying that much for a kit. Who knows, though, I may just get the bug and have to get one… Still, it looks like a well detailed kit. Though a lot of the basic parts break down reminds me of the AMT/ERTL kit that I had. Is it a new mold or a re-tool of the old kit? Either way, looks like they have a hit on their hands.
I’m getting this one!!! Period. LOL
Who says it’s going to be $180? The HLJ website says the price is unknown. Is $180 the price they were throwing around at the show?
It was listed at “around 20,000 yen,” which at today’s exchange rate of 107 yen to the US dollar is $186.92.
Aha. Well, that is a lot of dough, but then again their little Tie and X-wings are pretty pricey too. I guess it all depends on how much you like the ship – you could always buy a few old Tamiya Panther kits and make one from scratch … [(-D]
But what would be cooler than doing a diorama of the Falcon being attacked by a few of those beautiful Tie models?
Truer words have never been spoken, my friend!
