Lando’s Falcon Escape Ship Stuck.

By sf1raptor, in X-Wing

So, just got the Lando’s Falcon expansion, and ran into an issue. The Falcon and Escape Ship have a really tight fit, and I can’t pull them free. Has anyone else had this issue, and know how to fix it?

When i first got my Falcon the Escape Craft was really stuck in the nose. I just pulled and hoped it wouldn't break and with a pop it came out. Ever since it slides in and out nicely with no issues.

The problem is the paint I think that hardened and connects the two models. You could use straight brute force or you could get the model cold or hot to help lossen the paint. Maybe a little blade might help.

Thanks. I ended up trying one more time and got it loose. I think you’re right about why it’s so tight.

Just, if you go the brute force method, be sure to pull straight, and don't twist too much.
