I recieved mine last week and I tend to dissagree with the two negative feedbacks! yes its hand painted so not going to be like the ship in-game youve got to get over that, Im just stoaked to have a minature model of the ship ive come to enjoy looking at.

Got mine today, nice little model but it looks like someone with a unsteady hand painted this manually. Areas on the model which had been painted have not been done on the other side or it was incomplete.

Bottom line, if you are expecting it to look like in the pictures you will be disappointed.

I'm not sure if ‘model’ is the best descriptor – it's a one-piece, painted die-cast sculpture; no assembly required (unless you count fitting it on the supplied base). While probably a little over-priced, it comes nicely packaged, and I think it looks great. I keep finding myself looking over to it during Mass Effect game loading screens, and the die-cast metal gives it a real nice, solid weight when you pick it up. Up to you whether you enjoy this type of thing, but I'm really glad I bought it.
