I'm not sure exactly WHAT scale this build is.
When I was younger, I had the Echo Base model kit and it included a falcon that was approximately the same overall size as this, which I also had back then. (though the sidewalls were nowhere NEAR this tall)

I got this in the mail today, having made a purchase of both this and the revell pocket kit (which has yet to arrive) via Amazon.
As you can see, the walls are too high, it's moulded in a silver plastic and has been sprayed with silver paint. If you haven't seen this before, it's a watch-case and came with a C3P0 watch that I'll be giving to my nephew.
My goal is to use this as a starting point for getting my feet wet enough to feel comfortable with doing the revell pocket kit justice. I MAY add lights to it but haven't decided yet if I will.
I started by cutting it apart with my Razor saw.

I removed details that were poorly moulded.

a quick mock-up. obviously, the sidewalls are still too high but then, nothing is glued together yet.

and thats where I am at the moment.
More updates will follow and once the Revell kit arrives, it will be added to the thread as well.
