Such an awesome kit. I wonder how they missed the garbage chute? Had they never seen Empire?

To me, the box is just as important. ☺

In that case: When I get mine, I'll sell you the box for the special cut rate of $30.00.

Really needs a new base though....

Yeah, that struck me as stunningly bad when I first saw it - one of the reasons I thought those were renders rather than pics of the production piece; I assumed those where a stand-in "well, it can't just be floating in mid-air" thing for the stand. Easiest fix of the whole kit though And I agree with the one poster there - wish they hadn't molded the hangars as part of the hull as that's going to make it a little more difficult to potentially deepen them, and/or add the interior doors.

Yeah, that's the only big flaw in the kit. Manageable, not fatal. In fact, given how the rest of the kit doesn't require major surgery, like the old AMT kit did, scratching out a new main hangar is actually a nice challenge.

 

[Robiwon]

The hangers and the one piece engine block are unusual choices. However, they may be smart choices in disguise. If they had been molded as separate pieces they likely would have raised the price of the kit. Easy way to make a huge kit economical, fewer parts. I'm anxious to see parts up close to see the amount of actual detail present.

Found another one (mine's better ) with some close-ups of some of the parts.

They should have had some kind of fold-out landing gear base.

Very interesting. I guess bay sales initiated from within Russia, are OK then.

I'd say thats there to keep the Mouse from getting rowdy.

It makes sense, particularly when companies like Revell of Germany are going to be distributing it. They have to prove they made an effort to not skirt around it.

I didn't know you were a member of this forum, Mr. Trump.

Do the people of Russia actually refer to their country as "The former USSR"?

 

[Lichtbringer]

The area of the former USSR is more than only Russia.

 

[robn1]

Of course, but do they call it "former USSR"? Just seems odd.

Maybe it's a joke.
