Really sad that I can't import stickers into LDD or Stud.io. That cockpit looks so naked.

Very nice! That cockpit would look great with the midi scaled falcon's cockpit.

Impressive. I very much like it.

@JarJarBonks only that one is 4x4 base cone, not 3x3... it would look awkward.

Oh, my bad. Then you'll have to use stickers then.

Nicely done! I like how they used Starfortress in the naming convention as to what I imagine is a nod to the B-17 Flying Fortress, B-29 Superfortress.

@Kristof @JarJarBonks yeah, it would have to be a custom sticker. There are a few out there, but it would've been really convenient if the Falcon was a 3x3.

@K_W I just saw one in post on facebook today :)

Admittedly, I still didn't like the shape of the cockpit. Ideally, this would be the piece from the Millenium Falcon micro fighter set (shown below). Not sure if this is any better... it's a really hard shape to get right at that size.

Yeah, the scale ties your hands here. I don’t like the smaller one better. Its great match but for smaller scale.

This looks great. Really nice to see someone else go at it!

I think with the smaller 2x2 printed cone it would be perfect. This bomber looks bulky and heavy, and so should the model. Smaller windows contribute to this style. 
You can also print your own sticker on transparent foil sticker, you need a laser printer for this but the effect will be great, and unless you wish to make instructions for it, this is what I would do.

The model itself is pretty much perfect, nothing to be added here.
