The upper hull was attached to the lower hull with the two halves enclosing the troop compartment.
The turret halves were joined around the gunner’s station and weapons added. Fitting the cockpits finished the build.
The model was finished in a matt black with red outlines around the panels. This rather muted colour scheme is not typical as the Falcon is usually painted in a high visibility scheme, examples of which are readily found on the internet.
The photo below shows the use of an clear acrylic rod to support the model above the base to give the impression of it being in flight. The base was created by mixing acrylic paint in earth tones in plaster, building a slope and adding in a small rock from the garden.
The model comes with a very good selection of decals which were, in this case, kept to a minimum to match in with the muted colour scheme.
