for this deagostini model, there's a lot of modifications u can do to it to make it even more realistic. so they might cost more if u wan it to b super nice
yea R2 not available in malaysia yet, wont b available for at least another year coz UK is only on issue 50 and there's a total of 100 issues as well

The version the we subscribed from deagostini malaysia is pre painted edition right. I am confuse that i saw some deagostini mf doenst come with paint ready and some of them gt all 100 issues ready and some mayb 20 or 30 but mine so far i know latest issue is issue 3. Is it all the same but just different country they release those issue mayb earlier or later or different edition of deagostini mf or what?

they are all pre-painted be it US or UK version. however, u can paint more if u wan such as adding battle damage, worn out chairs, and so on. the magazine will teach u some technique in doing those but its up to u whether u wan your Millennium Falcon to be a nice clean build fresh out of factory or a Millennium Falcon after some space battle. from my own point of view, the nice clean build look like there's hardly any paint on it due to the color almost like white.

this subscription actually completed already since last year in other countries, so yea Malaysia is like two years behind everyone else thats y there r a lot of people tht already hv all 100 issues

The magazine is in Chinese right ? It looks pretty huge and very detailed but I'm wondering if there is any figures of millennium falcon out there which is have the similar detail as this. This one is kinda expensive 😅

yea its in chinese which is a huge disappointment. i dun think there are any other millennium falcon out there as details as this cause this is pretty much 1:1 replica of the model used in the movie

Is OK even it was mandarin version cuz YouTube have Official Millennium Falcon Build Diary:

Yup, 100 issues for sure. But didn't teach any model weathering brush process, so the model look too flat.
Better do weathering if want more realistic. Good Luck then. thumbsup.gif

Issue 2

So this is what came in issue 2. Only the parts and the magazine itself.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


The components that came with issue 2 includes the following

1. Quad laser turret (TP-3)
2. Control desk
3. Cockpit instrument panel sticker
4. Hologame table
5. Dejarik game board
6. Hull frame (TF-3)
7. Hull frame (TF-4)
8. 2-hole connecting plate x 1
9. 4-hole connecting plate x 1
10. 2.0x3mm screws (4 + 1 spare)

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Alright so for issue 2, there ain''t much to do. You will need to keep both the hull frame and assemble it together with the hull frame that will come with issue 3.

First off, we assemble the hologame board. Pretty much just apply the sticker onto it.
It''s pretty cool that the hologame table is made of metal and have a solid feel to it due to the weight.

So just peel off the Dejarik game board sticker and slowly apply it onto the hologame table. Remember to align the outer black panels with the edge of the recesses. The finished hologame board will look like this.

Next we will attach the instrument.
Take the cockpit instrument panel sticker and stick it onto the control desk. There are tiny holes on the sticker and the desk so make sure you align them before sticking them.
The holes are super small and its kinda hard to align them perfectly. So, what i did was i take a needle and poke through the hole then place the sticker through the hole as well. That way i can confirm that the holes will align to each other. Look at the picture below for how i did it.

That is all for issue 2, stay tune for issue 3.
