Thanks guys, (Bish, robiwon), I will be waiting with bated breath for one of those MASSIVE Star Destroyers. When I first saw Episode IV and saw the bow come out of the top of the screen OMG...COOLEST scene EVER... I was seven. Over 100 veiwings later and I still get chills. Perhaps I will PM one of y'all if my patience slips and wallet gets REALLY fat. Thanks again.

Hmm, interesting. The Bandai X and A-Wing I bought were from a Japanese dealer though Amazon's market program. I just looked at HobbyLink Japan and they don't seem to have them though. 

Looking forward to the review!

The only place to get the Zvezda kit right now is on eBay. Revell of Germany will rebox the kit in April. For those in the sates your still in a pickle because ROG kits are not sold here either. However, I suspect the more that show up here in the states you will start to see them on Amazon as well.

 

I thought RoG kits were sold over there, people on here cerainly don't seem to have a problem getting them and i can't see Revell missing out on that chance.

I third the request, alsomay i ask where i might aquire a beast of my own. Even though my handle is Armornut i really an a Star Wars nerd. Thank you in advance if you choose to share.

 

As i understand it, the Zvezda kit is only for sale in Russia, though of course just like the bandai kits, there are ways and means. But Revell will be releasing the same kit in April, though i do wounder how much they will mark it up.

Robiwon,

    Would you mind posting a little out of box review when you have time. I would love to see some detail images of the kit pieces.

With a Hammerhead cruiser to ram it?

 

Oh yes!!!!! As well as the Tantive IV/Rebel Blockade Runner. That has always been one of my favorite designs in the series.

I ordered mine and was told it was shipped on the 7th. I just got a tracking number on the 15th from USPS saying "We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece." I think that means it is ready to leave Russia and head to the states.

That's just my luck - after years of tracking down the Oddessy Slipways resin details to start work on the old AMT-ERTL Star Destroyer, this comes along...my wife isn't going to be pleased with me, but the sheer size of the completed model is far too tempting!

Of course, this comes out a few months after I purchased the Anigrand kit. At $89 dollars I would not hesitate to get one. Plus if this not going to be a long run kit then the eBay prices will at least triple. Just look at what the Venator was going for awhile back.

Ridleusmc, while the enterprise is a nice ship I think a star destroyer would dwarf it.

Ditto And then some. Just in time for the Star Wars GB.

Bit expensive, but for a kit that size, i expected worse.

Zvezda's 2 foot Star Destroyer
Posted by robiwon on Friday, November 18, 2016 9:17 AM

Have not seen it posted here and admittidly the scifi section here is kinda slow. Russian model company Zvezda is releasing next month a 23.6 in Star Destroyer plastic model kit. While limited to Russia it has all but been confirmd that Revell of Germany will be reboxing the kit for a European release. That would make the kit a lot easier to get in the states.

Here are the details of the kit- 60cm long (23.6 inches), all plastic model kit, price will be 90 euro's (about $89), parts count sits at 80 parts.

The kit seems to be either a mix of ANH/ESB style or possibly what the new Rogue 1 ship will look like.

Here are some pictures along with the instruction sheet.

And the instructions!
