In all honesty, that was what I kept in mind while painting it.It is exactly the way miniature for film should work - be nice on the big screen, that is what matters

Very nice! Would love to see some alternate views of the geometry of those side panels.
What about the big panel of gauges that goes at the center top visible through the big roof window of the cockpit?

It's there, it just doesn't have the gauges you speak of.
And an alternate view:
I'm still working on the sidewalls too, so some additional shapes on them have not yet been added.

I have suffered the pain of getting the curviture wrong, Its nice to know it will be exactly right on this model. This is going to be the biggest box of any model iv ever bought. Im getting my kit through ebay so hopefully i get it by the end of september like the ebay dude said
Its painful waiting, I shouldnt be this obsessed about a piece of plastic and some odd brick-a-brack but i just cant get this kit out of my thought process.
I dont know how anyone is going to top this model,I mean where do you go next???

And after a lot of fun work, a completed 3d model of the cockpit interior:
Next step I suppose is seeing if I can move things around for 3d printing. By the way, the last three photos are orthographic, meaning they lack dimension, so you could potentially use them for proportions and everything. Also! A disclaimer: this model is not 100% accurate. I did my best with the photogrammetry and picture resources I had, but it can never be as accurate as taking measurements from the actual kit parts and studio model. I think this will be suitable for the Bandai falcon, and maybe as a mostly accurate guide for studio scale. And of course if I find I can improve some areas I will!
Thanks! Till the next update --

I notice the scarring on the top front starboard side. I wasn't sure if that would come with it or not.
