Reboxed by Revell, it was also a bit scant in detail here and there, some of which has been addressed with 3D printed parts, which are themselves notoriously expensive. The Zvezda kit was eagerly awaited by Sci-Fi modellers everywhere, offering a scale previously unseen unless you paid for a massive resin kit with matching price-tag. Who can forget the imposing scene of the Star Destroyer looming overhead during the first few seconds of Star Wars (yes, yes – Episode IV a New Hope), chasing down the Blockade Runner Tantive IV and hauling it into the main hangar bay in order to board it in the search for the data tapes (ha, tapes!) containing the schematics for the Death Star that decades later/moments earlier Jyn Erso had successfully transmitted from Scarif. If the TIE is moved back into the launch rack, the pilot disembarks ontoa retractable platform at the bottom of the TIE elevation shaft before the trolley picks up the TIE and moves it into the racks.Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer Main Hangar Bay (03617-1/2700) Once secured, the pilot may disembark and use the the ladder built into the grapplers to reach the catwalk above the maintenance racks, exiting the hangar through one of four small personal airlocks. If the TIE requires maintenance, repairs or needs to be restocked, the grapplers place it into one of the 6 available maintenance racks. Once there, a trolley running on two top-mounted rails picks it up and shoves it into the next free launch rack spot (from back to front).
If it's airworthy the grapplers move it to the aft-facing section of the hangar and place it into the carrier hooks of a large elevator which transports them one deck lower. Once in position, the clamps are shut to secure the TIE, and move it into its destined area. Using tractor beams, they maneuver the TIE into the docking clamps. The last phase of the landing sequence is done by the two recovery grapplers inside the hangar. While the TIEs are en route into the hangar, their internal scanners report whether the starfighter requires maintenance, repairs, or is airworthy enough to be put back into the launch rack and refuled there by robotic maintenance manipulators.
