Boy, that sure DOES look like a kit, don't it. And if the pic on the box is a photo of the actual kit, they may have the proportions kinda-sorta-almost-semi accurate-ish.
Wouldn't get your hopes up. This is Revell remember.
If it's similar quality to their Venator, happy days:-D
But it's probably a repop of the old MPC kit, which also had a stunning Stardestroyer pic on the box. :-(

Revell usually DOES get the proportions right when there seems to be CAD data available (Ep. III, Clone Wars and Ep. VII stuff)
Could it be the model which is shown here:

(the one with the LEGO DS hanging from it)?

Sorry but Revell has NEVER rereleased ANY mpc Star Wars kit, but people still expect them to do... I wonder why?
i hope they redid the kit in the same quality of the vanator kit
They don't get them right. Some examples: the Eta-fighter from Ep III is wrong below the cockpit, the ARC is wrong there too at least in details. I didn't buy more past- Ep I Prequel stuff from them, so I can't comment on the other ones (but again, the EP I kits I built from them have proportion issues, too). The Revell JJPrise has many shape flaws, too. Revell just don't do proper research. Plus, their panel lines and detail quality are horrible. The old AMT/MPC-kits are still better IMO. For example the AMT podracer is so much better than the Revell one...
darth_daniel, it's been a long time that I worked on them, but as far as I remember, it's the following: On the Eta, there is sort of a wing fillet between the wings and the cockpit "egg". The proportions of these parts are off a lot (if my memory doesn't trick me, the edge of the upper line is in the center on the Revell kit, where it should be at about 1/3rd of the length. This causes more shape issues of these prominent parts.) I didn't check how good the rest of the outline and details matched, as I didn't have the chronicles back then yet.
On the ARC, the most prominent error I remember is that they missed the window on the fuselage sides (guess it was only printed black), I am not sure if it interferred with the interior when corrected. The interior is out of proportions, as are the figures. I remember that there is a feature artice on phoxim which deals with correcting the ARC.
Hope this helps!
