I finished this little bugger a couple of weeks ago and thought I'd post my build-up. It's a nice little kit, the panel lines aren't as bad as they looked in some of the pictures I'd seen. The only panel decals I used were the tan panels. It goes together well and is a true snap kit.

Not my favorite ship, neither my favorite scale, but really nice build. When you said that it is a true snap kit, did you mean that you did not used any glue on it?

It is a nice build. As shiftdel said, not my favorite, but R2 did a decent job on it. So did you.

Thanks, it's, I think, 8 inches long.
Addendum, it's actually 6.75 inches long.

Thanks! It's not my favorite either, I think I have a sickness because I feel compelled to purchase anything R2 does in 1K. I was a little iffy about it after I first built it, but now I can't leave it alone.

She turned out looking great. I've got this kit, tho still don't know if I'll build it or not.

I was mistaken before, the kit is actually 6.75 inches long when completed.
