Hi Ray,
Many thanks for the warm welcome and for the advice regarding re-painting my Falcon, greatly appreciated.
Definitely going the repaint route, since my Falcon shell has discoloured badly with horrible orange marks. My Falcon was stored in an attic and the extremes in temperature have taken its toll. I was torn about committing to painting the shell since it will no longer be original. However, at present it looks really rough. The good news, its pretty complete and the glass, sidewalls and radar not too badly discoloured; only the shell itself.
I purchased some repro decals from eBay and truth be told, they are not great, the colours are way too dark and quite a few suffer from Moiré pattern where they have been scanned! Therefore, I fired up Illustrator and in the process of creating my own. Once the weather gets a bit warmer, will commence with the painting.
A great thread from start to finish, really looking forward to seeing Dagobah and Mini-Rig progress.
All the best,
