Oh, I'm going to be watching this thread with interest. I like my Titanium collection Beast, but that looks nice!
On the whole, how user-friendly is the kit? I haven't put together any models in quite some time.

Very cool, great detail on the ship, cant wait to see it finished!

Unfortunately, the kit is about as un-user-friendly as they come. There have been several times I considered abandoning it because it's almost not worth the effort to build considering what a horribly executed and inaccurately mastered kit it is.

Ouch. I think I'll pass then, and admire yours from a distance... 
Well, that's a boxart blurb if ever I saw one. :lol

:cry That's disappointing. I was looking forward to getting this kit. Better to know now, and thanks for the information. I may reconsider it later, but I just have too many projects going right now to have to fight with a "horribly executed" kit.
Best of luck on your build :thumbsup

Latest update. She's almost done. Just have to do the bay entrances and putty the gaps between the engine "tubes" and the hull.

Looks great, especially given how difficult it was to put together.

That is great work, you actually have made something brilliant out of a lump of coal and I know as I have one.
LOL I have one fore sale if anyone wants one

Thanks! There's a lot more I could have done with it but, at some point, I had to decide how much perfume I was going to spray on the piece of sh.....

I also have one of these kits... unfortunately mine was missing the 4 landing bay end caps and fantastic plastic told me they did not have any to replace them with... so I have to decide if I should buy another kit and toss this one, or see if someone out there has extras

Consider yourself lucky. The landing bay end caps were not in the same scale as the ship. The end caps are wider, taller, and of a different cross-sectional shape than the body of the upper landing bays. Tons and tons of sanding and re-shaping are necessary to get the end caps to fit on the landing bays. In the end, your much better off if you scatch-build the end caps yourself.
