Bandai Hobby Star Wars Millennium Falcon The Rise of Skywalker 1/144 Scale, Multicolor, BAS5058195

Product Information

At this stage, the battery box is inserted if you have one, and the LED holders are slotted into position, which the LEDs push into, holding them firmly and directing the light accordingly.

The numbers on the instructions are slightly bigger than on the R2-D2 instructions, so was easier for me. When finished, it should be about 28-30cm in length, so a bit larger than Revel's level 1 snap fix Falcon with light and sound, and very much more detailed.This kit requires gluing to complete, we recommend using the Revell Contacta Professional glue to construct. Articulation is limited to the neck, shoulders, hips and ankles; limbs are molded in 1-3 pieces each and are hollow on one side. The front bracket fits into the front landing gear cavity, and holds the model pretty well, but the rear bracket barely cradles the hull and could easily get tipped. For the tiniest decals, I bought an aftermarket set from a company that is sadly now out of business. I decided that I would try to mix my paint colors to match the original shades of paint that were used on the model.

The first thing I noticed about the Bandai kit is that it is substantially larger and deeper than the Finemolds kit, with a distinct curve to the top and bottom surfaces that is much greater than the older kit. Another thing to notice is that the new kit is designed to accept a modular lighting kit that is available separately, but there are plenty of third-party lighting kits that are now available. The unique curved engine consists of light guiding parts that recreate the way the engine would light up in the movie. A: The Millennium Falcon has become an icon in popular culture, symbolizing adventure and the underdog's ability to triumph.Its a shame the stand isnt up to the same quality as the model, but its not enough to remove a star.
