Raven Morpheus Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) I wasn't expecting anything to be honest. I would however like to see some new reasonable sized kits (lets say 12" in the case of a Star Destroyer) at a reasonable price. I bought the Bandai Millennium Falcon for just that reason - it's 9" vs 18" and was reasonably priced (I think I paid £35 for mine). Just lately where some of these kits (not just Star Wars) are coming out it seems like, those of us at the lower end of the market in terms of budget shall we say, are being pushed out of the market.

directorcass Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 You have the Revell Star Destroyer at 15 inches and reasonably detailed at around $30-$35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunpowder17 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Oh yes i need one of these. Im back on a Star Wars thing again at the moment being half way through the 1/72 Falcon. I should have finished that by the time this comes out. It looks Beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koshey Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I don't understand You... homemade resin copied for $ 600 is not dorogo, but the factory model for $ 100 -- it's expensive???? here in Russia they say - it's expensive (the wiffle?) - as someone else makes ISD???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andygif290368 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 i saw on the zvezda facebook, that it's another one of those star wars kits that is only supposed to be available in the country/area of origin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I've got plenty of bandai kits, and lord knows I'm not supposed to have those either. My wife's old college roommate was Russian, maybe I can pull some strings.

Caerbannog Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 There will be ways to get one outside russia. And I still bet on Revell to rebox it. Now maybe even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerbannog Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I am still convinced that Revell will rebox the Zvezda kit: Level 4 06052 Imperial Star Destroyer „40 Years of Star Wars“, 1:2670 (here: http://www.dpmv.de/index.php/48-startseite/45-beitrag-2016-11-10-neuheiten-pk-revell-1q ) It is pretty close to the 1:2700 Zvezda lists and also pretty close to the retail price (89-99 Euro).

Richard Baker Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I like the parts breakdown- having the superstructure detail panels added on top on the structural pieces is great (although it will making lighting a bit more difficult with two layers to drill though). Also like the additional bracing inside the hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Russian is almost as bad as my Japanese but the pictures are nice It does look like it has taken some design cues from Bandai but thats not a bad thing at all. Now all we have to do is wait for it patiently........................ is it here yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
directorcass Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 And it says Disney on the last page, which should put to rest the rumors of it being an unlicensed product!! I do like the parts breakdown. Yes, lighting will be a bit "different". Love the internal bracing as well. Looks like we are on schedule for next month!!!!

Koshey Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) for those who want to highlight, like this you will need to very seriously reflect on the stages of Assembly this is not a "Zvezda", it's from Japan The Japanese Modeler is a fan of Star Wars Edited November 16, 2016 by Koshey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
directorcass Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I've seen that build before. While he put a lot of effort into it, it's always seemed a bit off to me. I don't know if it's the hull being too dark a grey, or the red lights, or what, but yeah.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it but I think he over did it some, Those shallow raised hull plates top an d bottom had some lights but not almost outlined like that, Still, it is a nice job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmonk Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 Just a quick update from another forum. Zvezda only has a licence to sell the kit in Russia. So buying it there may incur import duties. On a better note Revell are listing a Star Destroyer kit for release in April which is a similar scale to this one so with the relationship the two companies already enjoy it could be a repop. Revell Germany are listing it at €90. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmonk Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 The first kit has appeared on eBay for pre-order $79 plus $45 shipping so $124 in total making it about £100 plus any import duty if it gets caught. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Star-Wars-ZVEZDA-Star-Destroyer-1-2700-Scale-New-In-Original-Box-Pre-order/152329380279?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D38530%26meid%3Df4ecfa3cf55e47dc9abff355daaf5e64%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D152319461525 I think I will wait and see what happens closer to the release date.
