I ordered this kit after seeing a low rated review from someone not understanding what it was they actually ordered.

This kit is a plastic scale model kit intended for the beginner modeler.

The kit was well made, with minimal plastic cleanup required from the injection molding process.

The instructions were clear and the parts all snap together easy and intended.

As listed in the description, no glue or paint is required, however, you can use model cement for a more solid assembly, but keep in mind the kit is a static model and not intended to be a toy to play with.

I was looking for a “reasonably priced” copy of the Millennium Falcon for my 4 year old – who has discovered Star Wars in a big way this year. At first, reading the one negative review of this model, I was of course concerned about the quality of the model. I did a quick YouTube search and actually found a kid who had constructed this exact kit and and was very pleased to show off ALL it’s attributes. [...]

Contrary to the one poor review, this is a model kit – it is a SnapTite style Revell Star Wars -Millennium Falcon model – meaning there is never any glue required. I took a [small, calculated risk] in buying this kit and was very satisfied.

The price-performance of this model is definitely worth the money and was fun putting it together. I have been assembling model kits for over 35 years – I can honestly say this is an easy build with great looking results. A perfect introduction for young future-modelers – especially with parental guidance for the really young ones like my son.

From the time I opened the box until the moment my son had the model flying through [kitchen] space was exactly one hour – and that was with 4 year old hands “helping.” Fit-n-Finish: the painted features of the model were very well done and authentic – better than I might have been able to do – certainly much more cost effectively and in much less time. The fit is a little rough in a few places, but nothing grossly out of place. In fact, several “cool” features my son appreciated were the working ramp, gun turrets and dish.

I did put a few drops of glue on the parts *after* full assembly – knowing a 4 year old can be a little rough on models – but the SnapTite design is quite rugged out of the box. For a model requiring no glue – this one is not coming apart easily. The only tools I used were a pair of kitchen scissors to clip the parts from the frames and a nail file to smooth off the burs. I usually make one clip to a few parts that I need and then let my son bend each part off the frame and hand it to me. It’s great for him to feel a part of the construction process.

This is the latest, and largest, of our current collection of Revell Star Wars SnapTite models – prior to the Falcon, we have built the X-Wing, Y-Wing, Tie Fighter and Jedi Fighter. All have had exceptional paint jobs and all took less than an hour to construct. I would highly recommend all of these items in the series.

I needed a Millennium Flacon that didn’t cost $$$ like the new electronic one. This one is okay for my 7 year old to zoom around with.

I bought this and Anakin’s Jedi Starfighter as gifts for my nephew. As noted in the review for that junky kit, I hadn’t originally realized they were kits, but instead of being fun to assemble with a great toy on the end of the process, these toys are absolute flimsy crap. As also noted in other review, what you end up with literally falls apart if picked up. The vehicles might remain assembled if drenched in epoxy, but that will have to wait for another day. Just the kind of cynically produced, shoddy movie tie-in product that gives American culture a bad name! MAJOR disappointment. Do NOT spend your money on these trashy kits.
