Thanks guys!

WARNING! PIC HEAVY POST!!!

This is only a test copy, so it will probably be another couple of weeks before the final kits are ready to go(I will be told when they go on sale, and i will post that info here AS SOON AS I GET IT).
Upon opening the kit, i was confronted by four baggies and the seperate main hull.
The contents are as follows:
Main hull.
Baggie one: Port and Starboard landing bays(I asked for, and was given, two extra bays, for another project, but more about that later!).
Baggie two: Top flat-deck.
Baggie three: The antennae all molded on one bar(I'll be honest here, and suggest the builder would be better off taking some very thin wire and making all but the two largest antennae themselves, because the antennae are very thin and will be prone to warping in the heat).
Baggie four: Engines, shoulder "pistons", and flat-deck bridge parts.
There was a little flash on the pieces, but nothing that wouldn't just come of with minimal clean-up(I took the liberty of removing the majority of the flash before taking pics).

Anyway, enough waffle. Here are the pics of the kit:


























































Now for the extra set of landing bays...

Here is an idea i had for a dedicated carrier version(Kind of similar to the Pegasus from BSG):










Hallowed are the ORI...
