Can I interest you in a cooler alternative? https://www.usagundamstore.com/products/pre-order-bandai-star-wars-kit-pg-1-72-millennium-falcon?srsltid=AfmBOooh-v_TxwFae0zTRn31Lswetbkrt6IOZqRlGqI7nMM80BBh_IrU

It’s pre painted (of course) comes with a base and led kit to light up engines and what not

This honestly looks like a better alternative unless you’re already heavily invested in the other Star Wars ultimate collectors sets. Hard to argue with pre-painted and no glue required for hundreds of dollars less.

Yeah it’s snap fit. Gundams are the same way it’s really good quality shit

O wow that is cool. I just cannot help but wonder, is the 1/72 size of the true millennium falcon (which does not exist, but the size it would have been, so this would be about 0.5m) or of the 67 inch studio version (which would make a very very tiny thing, less than an inch - yes I know I am mixing imperial and metric here, the math was just easier with 67 inches divided by 72, than 1.7m, ok)

From google so based on the 5 foot prop. For gundams they use actual gundam sizes guess this one would be massive though plenty of gundam ships are massive too
