So after landing the complete Falcon locally I was able to complete this little project with the best spare pieces...
Ramp with struts, new smugglers hatch with stickers, gunner seat, glass and cannon....also the elusive Jedi Ball..
Here it is fully restored and reunited with an original box..

Best of all, I've my complete Falcon and little one still has a beater to play with....
Well done Jeff. Bought my falcon recently without ever seeing one back in the day and can't get over how massive a toy it is! Looks fantastic on display doesn't it?
Great result !!

That's a great find!
Where did you get a jedi training ball?
I have been after one for my childhood falcon.

I've never heard that before. Must be amazing to have something like that for the first time. It is a huge toy. Dare I say it? Possibly the best playset ever made
Oooooh....so close, but I think the Palitoy Death Star is right up there as a serious contender. I'm not sure which way I would have called it back in the day but nowadays I think I'd have to say the Death Star. Not taking anything away from the Falcon, though. A really beautifully made toy and in terms of vehicles it is absolutely and undoubtedly second only to the AT-AT

Death Star is very cool but I never even saw one as a kid, let alone own one. In defence of the Falcon, it can do lightspeed (which involved running up and down the corridors of my Dad's house, holding the Falcon by the front leg going 'Neeeeoowwwwww!'

There is that. And the DS couldn't make a high pitched, realistic laser sound like the Falcon could, either. These things need considering when contending for toy of the century!
