Revell tiny (1/280?) Falcon convert.

Modeling Subjects Science Fiction

Hello modelers,

Started this build back in 2010, Bought it for 5 year old son but daddy was more impressed with it he did [:)]

This Falcon was molded after the 5 foot Falcon in Star Wars “A new hope” but I have more affection for the 32’ in “Return of the Jedi”. So my plan is to add, correct and put as many details from the 32’ Falcon on to this tiny hull. Hope you all like the transformation and please don’t be hard on my English [:D]

Box art. It’s a picture of the 32’ movie Falcon.

That is not the case because the model is a 5 foot Falcon.

So next up, cutting away parts that needs to replace.

Clear some room between the jaw as originally the molded this solid. (see the red line)

Thin down the edge of the hull because it is too thick.

Looks nice ![:D]

And it appears more accurate ( thinner in appearance ) compared to the older and bigger MPC kit I bought many years ago in a galaxy far, far away…[^o)]

Thanks.

Replacing the gun turret because it’s so flat, using the one on the lower hull solving this problem. Also made extra landing gear at the front applying the same method: kit bashing. Cutting out the rear of the donor Falcon.

More add-ons. Pipelines.

Sidewalls

Rear end.

Side by side comparison.

That is definitely coming along nicely. Keep up the good work!

Wow…very nice work.

7

Wow, that’s awesome!!! I’m assuming from the photos with your hand she’s about 10-15cm or so long?

8

Thanks people and yes Gamera she’s only 10 cm or so. Let’s move on…

Much better?

New jaw.

Lower one is new.

Scratching new Port side part, must be looking like this.

Reattached the walk way and filled the gap.

Primer magic…

This was looking great; any updates?

Yeah, this is OLD. However I’d like to see this come to an end too, and not just on another forum because this one is slowing dying from lack of member participation.
