What do the experts think of this beauty?
After a closer look, well it's off.
There's no doubt they tried to reproduce the ESB Star Destroyer. The detailling is not that bad, not spot on of course, considering it's a mass produced kit, it's very convaincing from a distance, the greeblies do the trick pretty well ! (better than the greeblies do on the original ANH ISD lol).
The biggest concerns are the shape and proportion issues (only looking at the back of the model from this picture).
The neck is way off. the 90° edge is way too tall and this edge to the superstructures, this is way too long. You can notice that the hangar ceiling should line up with the roof of the first superstructures level.
There should be a roof extension to the rear of the most outward superstructures.
The gun platform is wrong. The whole thing is angled, not just the place where the guns are.
The two raised stripes running parallel to the hull leading edge dont exist.
The engine area is a mess !
The angled walls should meet the hull more or less at the line which crosses the kind of actuators (which are way too long).
The outward angled boxes are off.
The details I shaded in blue should be glued to the back wall (rear buklhead) and not on a kind of box (one of those details on the Bandai model is a suspension part from the Leopold, funny as hell !
).
The main engine bells are missing their ring.
Those are just the most obvious one and I'm not talking about the detailing wich is another problem but we cant blame them for that, but for the overall shape... well, we can !
