Don’t worry: no cods were dropped by Bandai during the making of this kit. It’s not a mixture of ANH and ESB features, apart from the cockpit, which includes the extension that was added for ESB. The blast mark on the underside was present on the ANH version. The bits that look like they came from the old Airfix pontoon bridge are exactly that, and you'll find the bridge deck at the bottom of one of the equipment bays as well. As an old Falconologist, I love this kit. It’s absolutely done right. Bandai even got hold of the original kit parts that were used as greeblies, scanned them and reduced them to kit scale for complete accuracy.
Oooh. I just had a flashback to my youth and I am wondering if the inner mandible wall that I pointed out is in fact the base plate from that bridge kit. I seem to recall that had the two strips down the middle and a sort of checker-plate pattern. But then that memory is 40 years old :)
Amazing, amazing, amazing!! Been hoping and waiting for so long for you to build this kit! Loved the Space 1999 Eagle build that you made, a perfect step by step for me to build my own. The millennium Falcon is in my stash, just don't tell the Mrs. what it costs, mind boggling😬 but worth every penny!!! looking forward to your progression. Jas.
Your commentary absolutey cracks me up. Well done! I've just taken delivery of my Millenium Falcon from Emodels. In fact, I got two of them as I want to do two very different versions. Thank you for your excellent and very amusing videos! All the best, Dan.
This is an amazing kit and it took me two years to get this version myself. This will be a fun build indeed. this is the second time I watch your series. Amazing build.
That display base looks more like the one for the PG Strike to me, or more precisely the one that came with the Skygrasper kit to be used with the Strike. The Unicorn's is definitely totally different.
Wayyyyy late to this party, but it's Styrene Acrylonitrile resin (SAN). Noooo don't canonise at me for knowing this...I just know how to use Google LOL
Sorry for the weird question but as you mentioned somewhere at 3:00 min this kit doesnt need basically any glue. So this means it all fits and stays on its place?
Yep, Bandai make predominantly push-fit kits (like Gunpla, for example). They are masters of the art and no-one is anywhere near as good at it as they are. You can build this model with glue like a traditional kit if you wish, but you really don't need to.
Aaaargh!!! I still haven't finished the 1/144 one and I really need to get this kit!! Gonna light it up? That's what's keeping me from getting the small one done...
I almost picked this kit up the other day but ended up with the motion version of the Red 5 X-wing. But now I really want it. And I wish Bandai would get the Star Trek license. I refuse to buy revell kits.
They did make a tiny number yeeeeeears ago, I think the 1701-A and the Reliant, but they were pre-painted. But a proper, modern small-scale Bandai Reliant would be proper trouser tent time.
@@gurufoxx www.gunjap.net/site/?p=230833 the first picture shows the base of the unicorn. The one from the exia looks like this too but is a little bit different
Cant even get these for decent prices anymore. Most on ebay are over $1000 AUD a kit (ridiculously inflated prices) or everywhere else is sold out :( guess bandai isnt making more of these
That intro was a bit too orgasmic for my liking lol.. 36 SPRUES!?!?! BIG BIG BIRDY!!! can't wait to see you do the lighting...wait you don't like lighting kits?! Oh dear, 'ow sad, nevermind
@@gurufoxx Amazingly, this wasn't actually directed at you, but the other people watching who might be interested and somehow can't afford £350 model kits at this time. Or any time because this one is sold out.

Modelmaking Guru Yup, that is exactly what that is. Look out also for the lunar module from the old Airfix Saturn V kit.
@@grimjimc Oh, I had not spotted that. It is clearly not as obvious as the LEM on the Space: 1999 Eagle Transporter ^_^
Ahhh finally a new series! Have fun Foxx! And I'll be here having fun watching you have fun and maybe learn something
I will ( I hope!)
@@gurufoxx hope's not a good strategy foxx
Do or do not, there is no try
Amazing, amazing, amazing!!

Thanks Dan! I am a complete idiot so I am glad that shows through in my content :D
Is anyone else getting the feeling that someone is a little excited about this kit??? ;-)
I have no idea why you would think that ;D
This is an amazing kit and it took me two years to get this version myself. This will be a fun build indeed. this is the second time I watch your series. Amazing build.
Thank you! And yes, it is a fantastic kit and you will have a brilliant time with it ^_^
So many much details.
ALL

half-assed memory was half-assed ^_^
this will be a great looking Millenium Falcon, for sure..!
I hope so ^_^
Nice looking kit.
It certainly is ^_^
Wayyyyy late to this party, but it's Styrene Acrylonitrile resin (SAN).
Noooo don't canonise at me for knowing this...I just know how to use Google LOL
ha ha fact absorbed!
There are also rear cooling vents from i think an M48/M60 tank.

This version comes with a lighting kit but I forgot to show that lol
The stand is from the pg sky grasper . 2 holes were you put the shield and gun
Noted, thanks ^_^
Mein Kapitan, zat be a Panther Tank, Panzer V, rear fan and inlet behind da exhaust vents.
That's what I said, it must be the TH-cam encoding that made it sound like I said Panzer four or King Tiger. damn TH-cam encoding.
Stop and go get your little bottle of CHILL PILLS! Slow down a bit ...
And so it begins...

I like the 6 episodes dig. Unless I was reading too much into it.
Ha ha ^_^
The unicorn and the exia perfect grade Both have a different base actually
Ooh, really? I thought they shared the same basic baseplate :)
@@gurufoxx www.gunjap.net/site/?p=230833 the first picture shows the base of the unicorn. The one from the exia looks like this too but is a little bit different
Only 5 episodes of this build left to go...
Maybe...
The Porsche engine gear boxes are only on the ESB falcon, they are rotary engine gear box ask me how I know
Oooh knowledge bomb accepted ^_^
Modelmaking Guru seriously thrilled to see you tackle this,
Cant even get these for decent prices anymore. Most on ebay are over $1000 AUD a kit (ridiculously inflated prices) or everywhere else is sold out :( guess bandai isnt making more of these
I found out after filming that this specific edition with waterslides and lighting was a limited edition run.
The cockpit seats are from a 928 Porsche.
Indeed they are ^_^
Apart from the rear ones which were fighter jet ejector seats.
No R2D2?
He was never in the cockpit I guess ^_^
decals. decals. decaàaaals
ALL ^_^
I hope you paint the color details and don't use the waterslides. I love your weathering and attention to detail when you paint
I'll be using the decals purely so that the chipping looks more correct that I could get it :)
That intro was a bit too orgasmic for my liking lol..
36 SPRUES!?!?! BIG BIG BIRDY!!!
can't wait to see you do the lighting...wait you don't like lighting kits?! Oh dear, 'ow sad, nevermind
erm Foxx you do know there is more than six pages to the instructions???? tee hee hee
A scan of the instructions is available via Scalemates: www.scalemates.com/products/img/4/5/3/1079453-17-instructions.pdf
Cool, although they include them with the kit :D

@@Zadster Ohhhhhhh gotcha ^_^
not as accurate as the Deagostini Foxx built both and really good but Deag better soz mate
pst. it's Bandai. you don't need glue.
Oh, there are a few spoits I can see a little glue might come in handy (just for non-fallaparty-safety), and a bit of sprue goo for filling ^_^
Porsche engine .... looks more like a gearbox to me, maybe.
looks to be most of the drivetrain. transmission flywheel pressure plate and housing... def not engine.
