New 1/144 Falcon Kit

I'm noticing some differences in the lower back part as well to the FM version, so I hesitate to say outright that it's just a scanned and shrunk version.

Thanks for turning me on to the joys of that Argonauts Falcon, which I just googled. For basic shape, it matches its source (the 5-footer) far better than FM matches the 3-footer.

The Argonauts ship while still very nice does have some geometry issues...

I just picked up the anigrand ship - its pretty darn nice. although the mandible /jaxbox issues present on the FM ship are here as well and they seem more pronounced in the smaller scale... I guess the error just looks bigger. The jawbox area is obviously too "thick" and long on the anigrand, but the model itself is incredibly detailed. Again its one of those things that unless you're one of us you'd probably not notice, but for us its totally obvious.

I was seriously considering molding the main body and making mods to correct the mandibles and jawbox... but I'm out of supplies. I may just build it as is and be happy with its flaws

How long did it take to get yours?

A little over a week.
