From the manufacturer
Obsession with Accurately Recreating the Studio Model
The '1.7-meter studio model' is truly special to every Star Wars fan.
It all began with the studio model used to film Star Wars: A New Hope.
Producing a 'perfect replica' is an extraordinary challenge. It is also the ultimate wish that fans have dreamt about fulfilling.
To all Star Wars fans who have been committed to that wish, here is what Bandai has to offer. Here is the ultimate Millennium Falcon.
Reproducing the Finest Details
|
|
|
|
---|---|---|---|
Quad Laser CannonsThe precisely recreated quad laser cannons are mounted onto the detailed turret seats and triggers. Experience the distance between the gunner and the cannon during battles. |
Walls of the HolesFocus on not only on the structures inside the holes, but also the walls of the holes. These cylindrical walls are covered with various configurations, each with their own functions. |
Sides of the ShipSeparate pieces for each detail were created to recreate the deeply-detailed sides of the ship in a three-dimensional fashion. The free-running pipes are represented in combination with individual pieces for a closer resemblance to the studio model. |
Around the Exhaust PortsThe complex details on the top of the Millennium Falcon are precisely crafted. This level of detail is impossible to recreate in anything smaller than this 1/72 scale model. The kit offers a choice between plastic and etched pieces to create the mesh vent grills, allowing for a more in-depth recreation. |
LED Light-Up Features (LED Unit Included)
|
|
|
---|---|---|
Sublight EnginesIt is widely thought that light from the Millennium Falcon’s sublight engines is blue. However, the light shown when Star Wars: A New Hope was released was white. For the PG 1/72 Scale Millennium Falcon, white lights were chosen as a sign of respect toward the first movie. The unique curved engine consists of light guiding parts that recreate the way the engine would light up in the movie. |
CockpitThe characteristic panels on the back of the cockpit light up as seen in the movie, evoking memories of memorable scenes. |
Landing GearThe three iconic landing gear legs are illuminated with LEDs and sturdily support the ship they did in the movie. The lights also help to recreate the image of the ship when it is parked. |

Bandai Model Rating: 10 Out Of 10.
Shipping Rating: 4 Out Of 10
When I decided to build a Millennium Falcon, I looked around to find the best quality, highest detail kit available.
This is it! And the price is high, but definitely worth it, based on the quality...amazing detail everywhere!
The number of parts in the large box was a bit overwhelming, but once I got started, it all made sense and was easy to keep organized.
Instructions are well-designed (and include English language).
Assembly is pretty straight-forward, there are LOTS of tiny parts that go on after preassembly.
Painting is also pretty straight-forward; the Falcon is mostly one color, so there's not a lot of switching colors, waiting for paint to dry, etc. I basically went through and sprayed everything in a few sessions at the beginning, i.e., primer, preshading panel lines, basecoat.... then proceeded to preassembly, panel decals, final assembly, smaller decals, post-shading, weathering, damage, and then a final coat of flat clear to bring everything together.
Keep in mind, if you're going to use the decals for the off-color hull panels, you WILL NEED to use a decal softener. These decals are thick and will need solvent to get them to settle onto the various texture and details.
The real trick to making this kit pop is the weathering. Be sure to add rust and oil drips on the panels, grey shading around the edges of the various components, etc....without weathering, it just looks like a toy, not a ship from the "used universe".
One gripe I had has to do with the display base. For a $400 kit, the base does not do a good job of protecting the investment...one small bump would easily tilt the model off of the supports and it could become damaged, especially if you're using the angled brackets (which I am).
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. I installed a small post through the rear bracket using a short piece of sprue, and then drilled a tiny hole in the underside of the hull for the post to fit into. Now the model can't be bumped off of the base unless it's picked it. (probably hard to visualize what I just described, but you'll figure it out if you build this kit)
Anyway, if you're a modeler, and a Star Wars fan, this kit will not disappoint. Now, I just wish Bandai had Perfect Grade versions of every other Star Wars ship!!

I saw several people reported their shipping boxes were damaged. Mine came in pristine condition. The model box inside was perfect. The model box itself is 23"x16"x8" and is an impressive gloss black with photos of the kit (I presume) on all sides. It's quite sturdy compared to normal model kit boxes and worth keeping. I opened the box and pulled out the inner box with the unassembled parts. All are carefully bagged and packed. This is definitely not a kit for beginners and a challenge for intermediate and master modelers. I look forward to start the assembly process and will provide updates as the process moves forward. When completed, this model will be something you will be proud to display.
For those who are sticklers in trying to copy the filming model, there are a few deviations, the cockpit does not match the 5 foot filming miniature cockpit. Instead it is based more on the full size set.
It also has the engine grill as seen in the special edition rather than a flat white cover over the lighting.
It has the damage near the radar dish that was added for the Empire Strikes Back
The lighting kit is nothing spectacular, but if you do not have the time or resources to do your own lighting it is not a bad option. The back wall of the cockpit is molded in clear plastic. The internet being that you would use the decals for it and then have it back lit. However the light bars on the sides are molded in black plastic and do not light up as the light bars on the back wall would. There are also no fiber optics included to run lighting to other parts like the console etc...
You also have the option of using photo-etch or plastic parts for the "koolshade" areas. These are the engine exhaust vents, air vents and the part on the cockpit tube right behind the cockpit cone. In some cases the plastic parts actually look better than the photo etch, but for the engine exhaust vents, the photo-etch is a nice touch if you want to view the fans.
Do not be deterred by this being a "snap" kit. The details on it are extremely crisp and finer than most traditional glue kits
This review is more for the company than the kit. I was more than pleasantly surprised when the kit showed up at my door more than 7 days early!! can't go wrong with that type of customer service! I plan on using this company again.
