Yesterday I was lucky to pick up a used unassembled Revell Model Kit of Kylo Ren's command shuttle. These are sold at the Star Wars Launch Bay, model shops, and online. Though you will see their smaller $20 counterparts at Target.
Those smaller ones are really easy to assemble, look great, and feature lights and sounds. This larger model I found much more difficult to assemble. Granted it was missing pieces (Wing underside paneling and side cannons) but it was still a difficult build that requires a flat work surface and good snippers.
No glue or paint is required, and as you can see the finished product looks great. (Micro Machines Kylo added for scale)
My biggest problem with the set is that the wing plastic is so brittle I managed to crack it in one spot trying to snap it together. This is definitely only a set I'd recommend to really experienced modelers. With Rogue One coming out we'll see a huge new range of models from Revell, so I'd give advice to stick with the small stuff.
If you have the skill and the patience though, this is the largest model on the market for Kylo's shuttle. And it really does look great. Hopefully we will see more of it in the future, though personally I'm still holding out for a good version of the First Order Troop Transport at some point.
Thanks for reading, have a great week, and May the Force be with you!
