Star Destroyer Revell Easy Kit Pocket

[YOULI]

Revell added some kits in its Easy Kit Pocket line. It's sold in Europe, don't know about the world.

Here is the Star Destroyer. It's tiny, some big and some very tiny parts, and it's somehow not the good modern kit I was expecting.

Anyhow, here are the picture of the Star Destroyer.

The parts



The building process is simple even though you'll discover some flaw in the instruction and parts that didn't fit well. Nothing tamiya thin cement and some clamps can solve, but you're fare from "don't need any tools or glue".

Stay tune for the WIP !

Looks like a door stop with zits.

 

[YOULI]

Your door stops are triangular ?

Why does the bottom section look like the entire body is riveted? That's just odd for a kit! Guess they figured that no one would notice!

Wow, you got that right, strange looking....

 

[YOULI]

It's no rivets, it's rectangular shape "details". Too huge, too thick but no rivets per say.

I already build it. Didn't even took picture for the moment. Some tiny parts (thrusters) are not easy to cut and sand, and there's also too parts that didn't fit anywhere.

Anyhow I'm convinced it's a good practice kit, or a kitbash source.

Would love to see the pics of the completed kit.. I'm sure it's small.

For some reason the old MPC kit doesn't look all that bad now!

About the lenght of my thumb...

Might work as a smaller ship....

I may buy another one to build the Interdictor...

Well, I bought one of these on ebay. I've liked the other pocket kits...cheap and fun to mod. I'll probably sand the "zits" down a little and repaint it, but it doesn't look bad for a small scale Star Destroyer.

After looking at your other posts, I may have to grab a few more. I had no idea Revell was still doing their pocket kits.

It's pretty recent

THe new arrivals last year was Easy kit like the Landspeeder, the big Tie Fighter, a new AAT, and this year a BIG SIth Infiltrator, a new ANakin Podracer...

I merely done some washes with black "something" from Citadel... It recess the details. I also modifie one big flaw : a rather pointy aft, cut it a little ot obtain the right shape.

DOn't have sanded the tiny mini thrusters, but the starship is done. THe parts fits pretty well, even though some glue can be in order... THe fun fact is there is only ONE way to put all this together right. Like the Gashapon toys, the holes and stuff are made to fit in ONE way and ONE way only. GIve it a try in another way, you'll have some major gaps and issues. So stay focus and check the way the parts must be assembled.









Obviously it's not done yet but the building process itself took me like 5 minutes.
The kit may be a good model to begin with, or kitbash something

 

[Quaralane]

Definitely looks like good 'bash' fodder.
