Hi Ady, I dont suppose you have checked out the revell easy-kit of the falcon, it has a major flaw - the height of the 'side walls' are too high. This is easily rectified. I bought the model over 2 years ago and was well into the modification but i shelved the project cause the wife and I had kid no.2.
I just havent had time to get back to the project. I could post a couple of pictures to show how easy it is to mod.
This kit is still kicking about in the shops for about £30.
