Fantastic vid -- thank you! I won't be getting one of these for all sorts of reasons, so I am living vicariously through your excellent review.
I have to say if I could afford this kit, my life would be taking the back burner until it was done! Love this and the previous video dude, nice job!
Excellent video thanks for sharing
Incredible kit. I will buy it some day, maybe. Lots of these on ebay still and the prices are even reasonable.
Good video👍
You have a nice voice. I also really enjoyed your Falcon and Astrodroid resource pages. I think you'd do great videos, if such a thing is in the cards for you.
Very well done,impressive review,i think Bandai will make another version of this cult subject in a few years as it's a good show case for their plastic mastery.
Very nicely done......
Thank you!
In the written review at the end there were a lot of questions about ESB parts in the model. Most notably about the cockpit. The main difference is that the ESB cockpit was about 18 inches deeper. To be honest this should not be that much of an issue. The small size and limited ability to view it negates most of the issue except for the absolute purist.
Taking a look at how the model is broken up for parts tells me that there is an ESB variant in the future. The front half of the lower hull is a separate part. This area is the main revision for the 5 landing gear ESB model. The large 5 footer was also modified to add the extra parts for the extra landing gear so it should be available in the reasonably near future.
Well, the inaccuracies of the cockpit are a matter of opinion. They're going to be inconsequential to some people and annoying to others! It's just surprising that they made that judgement call, given how relentlessly focused on 1977-era accuracy they were on the outside of the ship...
Economically it does seem likely they'll do another version in the future with the extra landing gear and lighting points. They do seem to have prepared for it.
Just found this video. Will you be making the .STL files available for download? or purchase? thanks
found my answer at the end of your video. thanks for making these available.
Hi, I’m a bit late but I have a silly question for you. I don’t know I you can or want to answer it...
Here it is. How would you compare this kit with the Lego 75192 (If you are familiar with it)? I know there’s a huge difference between the two, and that it wouldn’t be a fair comparison, but I haven’t found anywhere online a comparative review of the two or even a picture of the two side by side, which I find strange. If I’m not mistaken the Lego is bigger.
The reason why I’m asking this is because it’s been a while I’d like to have a model of the falcon at home (mainly for exposition) and I can’t decide witch one I would enjoy more.
I have absolutely no experience with building kits such as the Bandai one. It would be my very first one and I’m especially worried about the painting job and I wonder if I would be capable of doing it without ruining it since it would be my very first attempt (how to find the right type of paints, how to find them, and how to apply it carefully, these are the questions a model newbie like me is asking himself). I wouldn’t have to worry about this with the Lego, but it’s more expensive and obviously, by definition, less accurate...
I think the Bandai one looks better when it’s well done, even if the Lego is lovely in its own way.
I guess I’d prefer to look at the Bandai one, but would I be able to do it with no experience in modelling?
Do you have any input for me about this dilemma? I guess both would be enjoyable in their own way but I just wonder if you could help make up my mind. thanks in advance!
Hi. I'm not sure how to answer this one, to be honest. One kit is Lego, the other is a superdetailed model kit! I mean, they're very different products with different (though overlapping) markets, and design and aesthetic goals.
Do you like Lego? Get the Lego Falcon! Do you want a model that looks just like the one used in the movie, but smaller? Get the Bandai. :)
You can even see all the points where they kit bashed WW2 models for the original movie model. Lots of Panther parts.
The cockpit didn't open..? That's pretty disappointing for PG :(
So, where is part 3?
Good question! :)
It's going to be a while, I'm afraid, as I'm taking my time building 3D replacement parts for a few things...
It doesn't look like it, so I'm wondering, considering it's a PG, is it undergated?
Sorry - late answer. Where needed, Bandai always undergates its parts! And the PG has a lot of undergated parts.
Millennium Falcon Notes well that’s pretty good. Thanks!
Have you seen the deagostini model kit? It is more detailed than this one. 1:1 replica of the one used in the movie. Only draw back is that it takes 12 months for everything to arrive.
Hi. I have both the De Agostini and the Bandai PG Falcon kits. They're very different models with different design priorities.
- The De Agostini kit is impressively huge, and similarly expensive. It's a replica of the 32" model built for the Empire Strikes Back.
- The Bandai PG kit is modelled after the 5 foot model built for Star Wars. This original Falcon has way more detail on it than the 32" stunt model. However, the PG is much smaller than the De Ago and thus less physically impressive.
- The De Agostini model is actually less detailed than the Bandai PG. It has more individual parts, but the injection moulding is of so-so quality, and the details are incorrect in innumerable ways. There are tons of third-party detailing kits to improve its accuracy.
- The Bandai PG is almost flawless in terms of its accuracy - hardly any errors or deviations from the original movie model. The injection moulding is unparalleled in quality.
- The De Ago is, as you say, a subscription. Which can be a problem, since the product is towards the end of its life, and a lot of subscribers complain about getting parts in a reasonable timeframe.
- Bandai's PG Falcon is of course a self-contained kit. And much cheaper than the De Ago.
So. Which is better? Depends on your priorities.
I don't see all the sprues.
I think I basically got all of them in part II.
