1/144 Millenium Falcon Comparison (upd)

1/144 Millenium Falcon Comparison

============================

.

Roberto has provided pictures of the the two versions of 1/144 Millenium Falcon that have been produced.

.

Anigrand have produced the most recent edition in Resin and which still seems to be available ?

http://www.anigrand.com/AA6001_Falcon.htm

.

Those that have received this version have been quick to note the crispness and detialing provided on the kit. It must be noted that this is also limited to 100 kits to ensure the quality and setailing is preserved. Also, be aware you must order direct for this item as it will not be stocked by Nostalgic Plastic or Hannants.

.

Argonauts of Japan, produced a [licensed] version of the Falcon in the 1990s, this was oddly produced using 'soft vinyl' like the little Airfix Figures! To be fair the only place you are likely to find the Argonauts version of these is on Ebay or via a specialist seller. That said it is still interesting to compare.

.

As you can see a number of different approaches have been taken in producing the kit and breakliing down the componant structure.

It would appear that these could be prototypes for a future Plastic Inject Release....

The Jach appears to be the manufacturer of the Attack Models so this is a good omen?
