Got the Revell SD today ($15 Amazon order). Both impressed and disappointed at the same time. So much potential squandered on the toy like landing gear! Otherwise a very well designed kit. Deep panel lines should be OK under some paint layers.
Still better than the old AMT kit. But hoping for something much better with Zvezda.

Just checked that one on eBay. The price gouging is strong with that one. I suggest people dont give in to him. I paid $140US shipped to Australia and it's probably the dearest country to ship to. Here's a link to another preorder site.

It seems to me the only fixes the kit might need are the conning tower tilt and deepening the main hangar bay, both relatively minor and optional. Super-detailing possibilities are endless. A little wash, a bit of drybrushing, add fiber optics, and make a painting template to spray slightly darker gray squares all over the hull and this will be the star destroyer of my dreams!

It can´t compete for me with the much bigger Anigrand, which i gonna build me my ISD II from. So i´m thinking of making a Interdictor from it.
But as usual ...... final decision will be made after parts are in hand. Another option could be to make the Ani for display at home only, and build this as a show bitch, for transport and display at model exhibitions/fairs. It´s way cheaper and much more easy to repair or replace.

Size isn't everything... ;-)
The anigrand is not THAT much bigger, but it sure is more expensive...

Size DOES matter (at least when displaying capital ships).
And it IS much bigger - don´t go just with the length, the growth is 3dimensional, so the volume is much more than the length alone might imply.
But the main advantage of the Ani is (for me at least) that i can have other ships in the same scale (atm. i have the Rendili Dreadnaught, Acclamator, Nebulon, MF, Tydirium - a Victory started from scratch).
But bringing the Z is great, if i wouldn´t probably get one to write a rewiew, i would buy one. (maybe i will do that in each case

He got rid of the make an offer option for his latest one.
Anyway there is another offering $120US with free shipping. And they have a bunch of them so anyone interested go get em at a great price.
