Quick update, was a bit busy building another kit link. Most of the work so far has been a lot of sanding, test fit, sanding, test fit, but all is working out so far.
The super glue that I'm using is filling a lot of the smaller gaps and after sanding feels okay but wont know until the primer goes down, there's few larger gaps to fill but nothing to complain about, still in the process of notching out holes for where the fibre optics are going to go.
This little beauty has saved me a lot of hours of sanding.
Some homemade sanding sticks

As I just about finish mine after about 19 years, NOW I found this....haha. Oh well, I need to move on to something else. Maybe a 30 year build of a super star destroyer.........

This looks awesome! I, too, want to know how much this would cost. It's a supremely awesome looking model!

Now go out and buy two of those Dragon models 1/700 scale battleship kits and add thousands more parts to it and really have fun!!!!! Buy a fiber optic lamp from Walmart and go to town. It will be worth every second of your efforts.

Oh, dang, it says it needs "advanced modeling skills." I imagine that would take a bit more than I have at the moment.
Best of luck to you! I can't wait to see it finished!

Got the top hull glued together. Had an issue with one side being shorter than the other nothing a few strips of styrene and some sanding can't fix though.
Started drilling the holes for the Fibre Optics, this is going to take a while.
Once the holes are drilled and the trenches are glued in place I will start reinforcing the interior with some aluminium tubing to support a stand that slides in from a hole in the trench in the side of the ship.
