Here's mine. These things go together in about 3 minutes! I didn't use the cock pit or droid though. I also thinned out and fixed a few things. I used some aluminum tubing in the cannons also.
This one is exactly 8.5 inches long. This next incarnation from Revell states its 10 inches long and 1/50th scale. It looks like it has better proportions and details to me. I'm gettin one!
Only 10" long? If 1:78 is 8.5" long (Matching German Revell scale to English Revell length) then I was expecting 1:50 to be just over 13" long. At any rate it does look more detailed. Still don't see where it is available yet. Pre-order only?
Since it is highly unlikely I will get a Bandai version now I'll just have to settle for what I can get... or make my own.
It makes me wonder why, if Revell is not interested in selling non-toy kits to experienced molders then why should they care that Bandai is? Sigh. Rhetorical only. I do not expect an answer.
