Millennium Falcon: Boarding Ramp, Gun | Exterior Parts Kit 5

Kit 5 of Millennium Falcon 3D model consists of boarding ramp, gun and décor elements. We’ve considered designing a highly functional boarding ramp, which opens and closes, and consists of 9 separate parts. The parts must be joined together and mounted onto Millennium Falcon 3D model. Kit 5 also comprises the bottom gun that is mounted on the underpart of the ship, and additional décor elements for the bottom hull of the ship.

The entire kit consists of 16 detailed parts. The parts can be downloaded in STL file format. The files have been adapted for FFF/FDM 3d printers and are error-free.
