detailing the MPC-ERTL Falcon

[Gatekeeper]

IIRC the Blue Moon Kit is all pre-order!

Parts are cast after order is placed!

It may very well be so. AFAIK, it's marked "out of stock" at SSM, like many other products, and can be pre-ordered from there.

Those grills are superb, but geez, those Panther decks are awful!

(oh, I see...those are parts of the Blue Moon kit, not the grills set. Still yucky. )

Here's an older thread with a lot of good tips:
Super-detaling the MPC Falcon

Here are pics of the photo-etch set with the resin inserts. It was set "MMI 7777" by Millennia Models International, which is out of business.

Did anyone ever offer a correct size radar dish or cockpit cone for the MPC/ERTL Falcon?
