R0ver Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) Droool..... It looks massive. Would probably fit in quite well scale-wise with Revell's Venator which is approx 50cms long. Think I read this one is 60 or thereabouts, but please feel free to correct me. Regardless, it looks awesome. Is that the mini Bandai SD in the 3rd photo? edit: oops, just noticed the metal ruler.

Madhatter Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I can see a lot of people questioning themselves on how they would sneak that past the missus....! One thing that I am not sure I like that much is the molded in Hangar bay underneath. I would prefer that as a separate piece myself to make lighting an easier task. As it is, I am not entirely sure how you would get the lighting into it. I'll have a better idea once it's in my hands Would the Odyssey hangar set fit into this? If not, I would imagine that someone will create one in Shapeways or the likes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechanised Dwarf Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Madhatter nice find! It really hits home the size when he is holding it, I don't think I've got enough room to work on it never mind displaying it ;-) BTW if you want a giggle put the auto translate subs on the above vid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iSteve Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 So now the question I have to ask myself is do I keep my Anigrand SD, or sell it and buy this? I'm open for suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koshey Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 no need to sell anything, still useful in this model, not all good top add - on- better to do a separate piece or - just cut, then glue the top panel little add-ons - too thin, Yes they are in scale, but.... thin the model is gorgeous and very high quality, but to create an effective lighting is necessary to modify some elements do not rush immediately to collect it according to the instructions, it is better to think while I collect it, will show the mistakes that can be avoided during Assembly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what coat room tickets are for - aren't they? I have a useful collection in different colours and numbers... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper15 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I'm definitely in for one of these, but I know I won't build it straight away if I'm honest so I'll wait for prices to stabilise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when they finally figure out this ruse, your number will certainly be up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
directorcass Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) Nice comparison picture of the Randy Cooper-Anigrand-Zvezda-and another resin cast kit that was posted over on the RPF. I'm surprised how close the Zvezda is to the Ani kit. Could just be the angle, but the super structure and the bridge on the Ani and Zvezda almost look the same size!

Compare the distance of the superstructure to the edge of the main hull on both. I'm growing much happier with my Anigrand, though I'm still just as tickled as anyone that finally someone is producing a decent styrene offering. If Bandai still entertains the idea of a large SD, they'd better be at the top of their game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Not sure - the Anigrand seems to have a too blund wedge shape: Hey - cool - I just posted the link to the image. Nice feature of the Britmodeller update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

directorcass Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 They are restricted to sale in Russia only. You will need to grab one off eBay or find a hobby shop in Russia selling them online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerbannog Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 HobbyTerra has them in stock now! OK - stop the exitement. They are asking 165.60 USD. Well at least shipping is free. I will wait for the Revell boxing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff_B Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Revell are issuing the kit in April next year as part of the 40th line up for Star Wars rather than the Rogue One marketing, theirs was listed at the €99 mark. After watching Rogue One I definitely want one now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
