I just won this metal [pewter?] Millennium Falcon model on ebay. It looks like the sort of metal models that you’d get for wargaming. I know nothing about this as there’s no makers mark. It’s marked as Empire Strikes back so it could be vintage. I’ve seen similar items but paired up with Boba Fett’s Slave 1 (Mike has a set in his collection). I have a feeling that this could be Japanese.
On delivery, it was slightly bigger than i was expecting. Iwon’t be making this up as i’m a terrible model maker, but it is nice to add to my collection. I still need to look for the Millennium Falcon/Slave 1 pair though.
Tsukuda metal kit. millennium falcon vs slave1 1982. Kit from japan. Just bought same kit you have in same packaging but thats not the original packaging.. I’m thinking its a a recast. I also bought the star destroyer of the same company…comes with the little falcon that sits on the bridge. Got the kit from a guy in italy with no info on these kits. He had them for 20 years or so.
Just scored the original metal kit from Japan! Pretty sure the previous one i got ,..like yours may have been cast from it. Will confirm and send you pics of it when I receive it in the next week or two! The one I bought initially was from a guy in Italy of all places….Had to get it off the ebay Italy sight,…also noticed he had been trying to sel it for a few years…..will keep you posted…
