Limited Run Complete Cockpit Replacement Set for DeAgostini and Hasbro Hero Millennium Falcon

Yes, this cockpit cone is made to resemble the ESB version which is proportionally longer than the cockpit cone of the 6 ft model made for ANH.

Hi. The product looks really impressive; congrats on the fine work. I'm just a bit puzzled as to why the cone has the ESB detailing (eg: the Volvo panels), but the front console is ANH and not ESB, and the interior sidewall panels are the short ANH sidewalls and not the deeper ESB ones. Would it not fit if it were the correct depth?

I will try to explain.
I have never said the cockpit is completely "screen accurate", if that can be at all achieved... Most of the people don't go for a complete screen accurate look of the 32 inch filming miniature because the cockpit there is completely different from the on-screen set.
I believe that means as long as the outside matches the ESB 32" version it is OK to use some elements from ANH inside the cockpit.
Having said that, I have designed the cockpit based on the references I had (Volvo panels), my personal preferences ( I like ANH version better) and making sure it all fits together and technically achievable (Short ANH sidewalls to make sure it all comes together and the back and side walls can be lit).
I am not hiding anything, I try to make as good photos as I can, so you can decide for yourself if this is something you want or not...
I don't know why but I feel offended now.
 
Not trying to offend - I think it was clear from my question that I was just curious to know more about your design choices.

Obviously the Falcon is different in each movie and each scene, and everyone chooses to draw their personal lines somewhere.
