Falcon laser belly turret for the MPC/ERTL/Round2 kit
If you remember the Episode V from the saga, when the rebels are leaving the snow planet and the Falcon is ready for taking off, a small laser turret pop up from the Falcon belly to shot the soldiers.
This is a replica from this small laser turret, a part that has been ignored all these years. Now you've the opportunity to improve your Falcon with this small addition on the belly.
To add the turret to the Falcon you will have to open a window on the hull. You can attach the turret to the Falcon using the vertical bar built into the model. I've attached an image so you can see the position.
You can improve the turret adding small tubing lines. On the model I've built little cylinders to attach these plastic flexible tubing -on the left side and on the back.
This turret has been designed very close to the original, ultradetailed, despite the big lack of good information to build it exactly. I've tried my best to match the original movie turret. I hope you will appreciate my effort to build this part to improve our Falcons.
This turret has been designed to fit the scale of the MPC/ERTL/Round2 Falcon model.
I've designed a special version for the 1/72 Fine Molds kit, that you can find too on this shop here:
