That looks either: a) like a fan design, or b) an early mockup that does NOT look like a final TLG product to me. I have faith in them and so should you. Shame on you! :-) However, I have NO illusions about the Falcon myself. I expect it to be out (...) (25 years ago, 22-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

Please let this not be TLG's interpretation of the MF. Please... But the only thing that scares me is the cockpit. I have never seen it before in any Lego sets. Can anyone confirm that? (25 years ago, 22-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)
