Misrule Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Very nice! I was worried it was going to be a cartoon-ified version from Rebels, this is so much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I find it oddly interesting (or something) that they're making kits of props that were made from pieces of kits. I wonder if the original maker of the kit parts used has a claim for copyright issues? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallisti Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Its not that unusual, the Thunderbird Mole kit from Aoshima I built contains an entire Airfix/Dapol girder bridge and the Eagle Transporter has bits of Airfix Saturn 5, Tamiya Tiger and Panther Tank all over it 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Yep, there's been a lot of it over the years. Makes you wonder though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Baker Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 The funniest is that the Nebulon B Medical Frigate uses a kit part from the MPC X-Wing (The 'tech strip' behind R2), which is a replica of the studio scale detail which was built other model kit parts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may break my own imposed SW embargo and buy one because it looks that good At 60cm, it'd be roughly about the same size as the Anigrand one wouldn't it? I'm sure the full on SW fans/nerds/know-it-all's will be either finding some tissues right now or nit-picking holes in it before it's even launched. You know who you are.... I wonder how Zvezda got a license to do this kit? I thought only Bandai were allowed to officially make SW kits now - or is that old news and I have no idea? Anyway, it is awesome to see what looks like a great kit of a SD to be released. Thanks any deity you like its not another X-Wing or TIE fighter. Hopefully, we may see some other capital ships come out of the Zvezda workshops? MC80 or a SSD maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerbannog Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 This topic is also listed in the Rumormonger section. There is a store in Germany which lists a SD from Revell as a gift set for 04/17 at 99 Euros... I do not think it is the same kit which is already announced by Revell at that price, so I suppose it will be a rebox of the Zvezda kit. Link is here: https://www.zinnfigur.com/Modellbau/Neuheiten/Geschenkset-Imperial-Star-Destroyer.html I will not buy multiples but one for sure (either from Zvezda or Revell).

Koshey Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) I apologize again Yandex translator .... license from the Disney company "Zvezda" and on this model on individual circumstances. if you think that the representative of the company - 3d model for production was approved by George Lucas personally. I don't know why they can't agree with the "Bandai". again - the words of the representative of the company, if the "Destroyer" will be a success, it is possible to work on other models SW. in Russia the majority of modelers more interesting topic of domestic equipment - planes, tanks, cars, ships, etc. the theme of science fiction interesting units, Yes, it probably does all over the world. therefore, we must have sworn - it would be better Il-76 in 1/72 made (good plane, I do not argue - and no, it doesn't make Amodel - so-so quality). but still - many of them are happy about this news. about Revell SD, most likely, it will be their toy, but I could be wrong. and when they're going to do "Milenium Falcon" and X-Wing from FInemodels forms already bought .... Oh, I'm sorry, but I can't exactly afford: Millennium Falcon Manufacturer: RevellManufacturer No.: 15093Scale 1:72unpainted, kit Article not in stock Article will be ordered at the manufacturer. Delivery time 1 - 2 weeks after availability. Advance notice. Date of publication: Yet unknown. 349,95 €* on this I think, but it's still too expensive: X-Wing Fighter Manufacturer: RevellManufacturer No.: 15091Scale 1:48unpainted, kit Article not in stock Article will be ordered at the manufacturer. Delivery time is 3 - 4 weeks. 99,95 €* Edited October 24, 2016 by Koshey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
