Ойын-сауық
Hi everyone,
This is a build and review of the Bandai 1/144 Star Wars Millennium Falcon plastic model kit.
This is a snap together kit that has incredible detail and is easy and fun to put together. It was designed for modelers of all ages and can be detailed to your modeling ability .

I haven't built a kit in many years, but I really enjoy your videos. Especially the painting part, which really makes them come to life. Thank you. :-)
I'm used to master grade gunplay and some Tamiya military kits. This is what I need to get myself for Christmas.
The more I watch this video the more I want to order this Falcon & an air brush kit & attemp this build & paint. I've been wanting a Falcon to display for a while but some kits are so expensive but this Bandai kit looks really cool.

L. Hanson Go for it! Get a cheap revell plastic kit to test your airbrush technique on and have at it! Also some clippers for the little fiddly bits.
Great kit - it has heaps of detail. And your weathering is spot on! Nicely done!

Andy, it's really good to see other stuff get done too... :) oh yes...
Nice video! And glad I found this channel as I have been to the store many times! Will have to look for the kit and any additional upgrade parts!
Great work. Decals are my nemesis. Tchaikovsky is nice to listen to too.
Gundam kits used to be my life. thinking of getting this with one of the really nice lighting kits. seems like fun.
Nice video. You earned yourself another sub. I mainly build Gundam kits but recently these Star Wars kits became available where I live so I will be getting as many as I can.

Nice job! Turned out really nice!! I would have liked to see the painting process that you mentioned you did..since I plan on picking this kit up asap! Looks like an amazing model!!
The backround Classical is great !
Great job on the Falcon. The finish is fantastic. Bill.
Great videos mate! It's great how you show the build of kits. I liked your reviews of the new Tamiya products you got recently. Can you do more product reviews like them? They are fantastic and I like how you show a demo of the product and it is explained very clearly!
Superb build. I'm always fascinated to see how people do weathering and panel lines etc. The wash did a great job. I might use this for my own kit. My only negative on this kit is that it didn't come with the LED lighting kit that's available for it. I mean seriously 2 or 3 LED's and a battery holder really doesn't cost much these days. I've seen the lighting kit available for the insane price of $50+. I think I'll make my own to suit. Many thanks for the build, I really enjoyed watching it.

Holy.....crapshits, I am ordering one of these for sure now. This will be my first model since I was a kid. Absolutely love Star Wars and no better way to get back into models than with the Falcon.
Sir I loved your paint up of this. Some guys rely WAY to much on streaking, and get heavy-handed. I really like your approach. I know it's some years later but this definitely still holds up! V

Great build as is the weathering. Can't wait for Tamiya Sherman.
Love your building videos, and love the music! thanks
Amazing build. I know this video is 4 years old but i got a question regarding the decals. I saw that after you where done painting you went straight to decals. Did you coat the surface with clear before the decals or you went straight to it without clear? Do the decals move freely without a smooth surface?
Nice! I getted (got?) my Falcon today from Japan. H A P P Y ! ! !
wow!.... Andy.. Star wars!.. you sneaky! ....didn't expect that one :).....will be looking forward to the armour build has well... ;)

+Alan Sheppard Yes I love star wars, Just started the new Tamiya M4A3E8 SO look for new video soon.Thanks for watching.
very nice.
Loved that u even noted what paints you were using. Truly fantastic job 👏
Great job on this. Do you recommend a certain airbrush for something like this? What are you using in this video?
Really nice job! Is it possible to add a light kit? (maybe a sound as well)
There a lot of KZread falcon bandai builds but saw a Star Wars slave 1 on the store shelve wondering when someone going to do a video on it hope soon!
I thoroughly enjoy all your videos I did have a question on painting. It seems you don't prime your models before painting you do an undercoat would you consider this your primer coat?
Wow, looks great! Btw what type of airbrush primer do you use?
Nice shading. What about the exhaust port streaks? Would you do them with an airbrush or weathering kit?
Great work on this fantastic iconic piece! Please advise if the cockpit comes with a clear plastic to represent wind screen?

that time I'm having hard time which one to pick from I think 1/144 x-wings, this millennium falcon but end up buying the real grade kit of 00 raiser. next time it's either this one or the x-wings

There's 1/72 x wings not 1/144
It is a beautiful work, could you tell me what colors did you use to paint? I have one in 1/144 scale
Very nice work on this model. I just picked one up and I am wondering what the correct color of it is. Is it more of a white or like some videos I see is it more of a grey. Any help would be great. I was leaning toward Testors light aircraft grey.
Hi, great paint weathering job. Did you use a gloss or flat white to mix with the German grey?
Awesome job! Hey what kind of paint did you use? I like that look you gave it... I wanna do the same for mine...
What air brush paint equipment did you use? I am shopping for air brush equipment to paint this same model for my home so would like to consider what you are using. Thanks.
I was the 700th Like. Great job!
Very nice, what do you use to take the kit apart for painting?
In japan we can get this in department stores and hobby stores like it's gundam kit
Any chance you can list all the equipment and paint you used on this. What type of paint did you use
nice thank you
Man that thing looks good man, I've always wanted to build the millennium falcon since I was a kid, but damn that looks good man
perfection !!

Hi there Andy! The bandai millennium falcon build was amazing. You mentioned the use of micro cell I think that's what U said. To be painted on the decals. What is it ? And what brand to use ? Thx Steve

micro sol, it is a decal softing solution, also you should try Tamiya mark fit strong works great
a little off topic but do you recommend Vallejo surface primer? im nee and i paint WWII 1/35 kits and learned it works great if i dont make a little mistake and have to sand or anything. anyway to make it sandable or workable at all?
you know the colors on the back of the book, do you know what they are or did you find the closest to it?
Would be my first time air brushing. Could you point me in the right direction for a dummy/novice in air brushing on what paints to get and air brush that is decently cost effective. Thaaaanks!!
This looks fantastic, did you clear coat before adding the decals?

Hello! What solution you mentioned when you applied the decals?
Hi... I would like to know if the kit can be built as the "A New Hope" Millennium Falcon? does it come with the Circular Radar Dish to build it as the New Hope Falcon.
I haven't built a model since I was a kid about 20 or so years ago but I'm building this model now as my first since then and having great fun and impressing myself with each step but how the hell do you paint the people. Under a magnifying glass I can see a lot of detail but I've got no clue how to paint them
Nice! This is 24 bucks on BigBadToyStore, might pick one up!!
I do the model kit as well on this moment. But I have problems to fit peaces c18 and c19, can u show us how to do it, because I dont' see these parts in you're vid.
Fantastic work, I really want this kit, but I want to build it as per the original trilogy......is the radar dish the only difference, as im thinking of ordering one and just holding onto it until someone comes out with an optional part? like the 1/72 kit, i just cant justify £300 for it.
Andy, I have a question for you. Are Vallejo paints easier to work with than Tamiya paints? Vallejo are acrylics correct?
Nice work! What dimensions are the kit?
Just wanna ask if u didnt use a primer for this kit. Is it necessary to use primers for this particular model?
Question, why'd he spray the engine looking parts around 7:00 separately and not as it was attached to the model?
Do u have to paint this or would it look fine with just the stickers?
lovely video! im new to modeling so forgive my ignorance, but what did you soak the decals in?

im sure theres gotta be at least one place in jacksonville that supplies tamiya....it would help if we were allowed to airship paints...
Damn!!! That looks really cool! I wonder which part needs to be separately painted?
Do the imperial tie fighter one
What color/brand of paint did you use for the "off white" color?
Is that why you airbrush on black then white with grey? For weathering?
Awesome, you don´t need glue
I just bought this kit for a gift, and now I am concerned if the receiver is going to need an airbrush kit?? They aren't into airbrushing or modeling, however, HUGE Star Wars fan and especially likes the Millenium Falcon.
been wondering.........can I paint the model without model paint but with normal water color?
Does it have optional landing gear?
What exactly is the microsol for? 10:08. What does it do?? What would happen if you didn't put "lots of coats of microsol"?
Are the decals dry rub?
Do we need glue to build this? my order is on the way,want to prepare all the tools, :)

amazing vid, suggestion, switch up the orchestral a little, and your description says its 1/44. awesome vid though!
Did you prime this kit? or any kits?
I have my Bandai Falcon on order as well as Bandai's LED kit. I've watched a few videos & think yours is painted the best. I'd like to try & replicate yours if that ok with you. May I have a list of the paints you used in your video sir? Is there an airbrush system you'd recommend? Thank you so much for your help & advise. It's definitely appreciated
