New Zvezda Star Destroyer Model kit

The Anigrand, I have one, is 28 inches long. The Zvezda kit is 23.6 inches long. About 4 inches shorter. Does not sound like much, but your also shrinking the mass down as much too, so the ZDS is going to appear quite a bit smaller than the ASD.

The Anigrand is 1/2256 and the Zvezda is 1/2700
 
Especially the part where Doug Chaing talks about all the practical effects in The Phantom Menace. More practical effects and real models than in TFA. ;-)

Yea but most of the models and miniatures for the prequels were made for CGI reference so in that sense all the exciting concept art for TFA could be praised that didn't make it to the film/script. Or for the Thing remake/prequel/whatever, ADI built fantastic animatronics that were all ditched in favour of CG. That being said, Phantom always looked the best for me out of the three prequels and this explains why. Also thinking back Phantom had a pretty decent amount of scenes where they used actual sets or locations (Tatooine scenes, most of the cockpit/trade ship parts were built sets, Theed palace was a real building) as opposed to the other two.
On-topic, I built a Mi-24 helicopter from Zvezda, fantastic model, lots of options and variations during the build, although some parts I found a bit overcomplicated. I have another box of the same helicopter in a Revell rebox with a different set of decals, so chances are that Revell's gonna pick up and re-release this one too. Am I the only one who can't see the famoust SF motif on the bridge tower?
 
Hmm, the parts count has gone up. It was originally announced as 80 parts, this guy is saying 105. That's cool though. Vacation pay in T-Minus 2 weeks.....

Wow, and no price gouging. Shipping is high, but it is coming from Russia!

Yeah, the SF is not there, and neither is it on the R1 SD that we have seen in the trailers. Ironically, it is on the new Revell snap kit.

So these aren't hitting the shelves till January/February (according to the above Ebay link)?

I thought the whole point of offering props/models was to release items so they coincided with the opening of Rogue One (Dragon AT-AT anyone)?

By the way, love your avatar. Ive seen videos of that little Pug. So sad for him to have had a stroke, but he's so happy. I have an all black Pug/Laso mix.

His link says December as we have been hearing. Jan/Feb includes shipping time from Russia.

Well Robiwon, that seems like the easiest of detailing to add. :D Just a few evergreen plastic strips and walla! your very own SF.

Can't wait to see some builds of this beauty.

Yep, Marnie the dog (think she's actually a Shih Tzu) is great, real happy ending to what had originally been a pretty crappy life!
