Scimitar - but not the Supermarine's ;)

Oh yes, its not a naval fighter-bomber, it is a Star War craft from Revell. Officially kit called "Sith Infiltrator", but several sites in internet give the name "Scimitar", history of development and lot of pictures, even cut-out views. But in fact craft appears in "The Phantom menace" just for several seconds in scenes of Darth Maul's arrival on Tatooine and it seems have been not the one Revell have made. Film craft was bigger and had different details, so I think that Revell kit depicts scaled down prototype of Maul's machine. Or, as usual, Revell had forget about accuracy of their kits?

Built almost out of the box, but landing gear doors and tail skid scratchbuilt and "fins" folded - otherwise the craft cant stand on its own legs.

A suggestion.
I know that by clicking on the picture we can see it larger, but if you post a larger picture to start with, it will grab the attention and do your hard work more justice.
By the way, I'm more Star Trek than Star Wars, but I do like your Scimitar.

Thank you for a good advice!
This is my first attempt in "sci-fi" and most likely the last. The work was not hard but verdict was as always - guilty! Revell almost ruined the kit with that trenching on upper half of the sphere (bottom is pretty but invisible on kit standing), I have added about dozen layers of primer and paint - painting , sanding, repainting - and that awful night-black wash. But if you like it, my Scimitar is not bad at all ;)

I like it

I thought the first one meant it was a big size model, but seeing the comparison with your hand, it looks great.

For the size of the thing you have detailed it beautifully. Looks great! I love the base idea too. Looks the part.
