The first vessel of this class, the Executor, was completed not long after the Battle of Yavin and was the first of four Executor-class vessels to enter into Imperial service before. If so, it makes these models, once sought after, something to leave on the shelf. The super star destroyer was a blatant show-off of the Imperial war machine that was meant to boost overall Imperial morale while utterly terrifying the Alliance. It would appear that in order to make more money and cut costs they decided to cut the quality of their products. I understand that FoV are now made by a different company, or that the FoV company was taken over, whatever. If I keep it then I'll probably repaint large parts of it, rather defeating the object of a prepainted model. However, given it's price it's simply not worth it., nor am I keen to display it with the others in the condition it's in now. I haven't decided whether to keep my Bismarck, which will make it one of the few models I've ever sent back. Weirdly, the photos illustrating the model here, and on most other sites, aren't like that, but I'd advise checking the photos on The Fly Mule site which are of the actual item. When used, the paints are often the wrong colour, (very bright red for the underside of the boats) making the whole model look a bit tacky. I realise techniques have changed in recent years, a greater use of plastic moulded in various colours, but they does lead to a far cheaper look, very toy like.įor example, the plastic moulded deck isn't painted, and apart from details being painted where needed in a different colour, neither is the superstructure, guns, etc. While all the other models are painted in total, the Bismark's plastic parts are mostly left the colour of the plastic they are made of. However, nicely painted, pretty good detail and they look good when displayed. No skipping on the CD or DVD, when played. Prices start at 150 (207), not sure what they go up to, but they always sell.
Over the past few years, I've noticed a couple of sets cropping up on Ebay UK. The teeth of the disk holder (in the DVD box) is undamaged. Re: Star Wars Superclass ISD Executor Boxset. The video game instructions and box are included. The cover art and liner notes are included.
Not very high end, but then you pay for that sort of model. No damage to the jewel case or item cover, no scuffs, scratches, cracks, or holes. I have all the other Forces o Valor 1/700 ships, and very nice they are too. Serious misfire, or plastic sinks the Bismarck.
