Yea.... and look at the thing...... It just does not look right.
The person that mastered this did not have all the info on angles and detail.
It's definately not worth 60.00 bucks

What's wrong with it? Can you pull up a pic from the show to compare to it?

I've got one (unmade), it might not be perfect but it's a nice little kit and the best we're going to get until someone can come up with something that's more accurate, and hopefully larger.

That's what I thought, I thought it looked pretty good. It looks like the model used in the 14th Colony fan film. What exactly is inaccurate on it?

I think the slope on the front is wrong for a start and some of the detail.

Someone who wasn't a nerd wouldn't be able to tell, they's just accept it as is.

So can't you just say the galactican equivelant of, it's a 2003 Trans Am, instead of a 2004?

I and just a couple of others are the only ones that have the correct blueprints and accurate angles. Am already working on the master to mold and you all should see some things soon. This model is going to be DEAD on.
As some of you know, I'm not kidding.
Save your money, don't waste it on this kit. I promise you it'll be great and it'll be very affordable.
