My Discovery has arrived, the main body of the ship was smaller than I was expecting. Those nacelles really are ridiculously long. Like others although the windows were nearly aligned on the inner ring that are ridiculously off on the outer ring. On the bottom of the primary hull the painted windows aren't even the same pattern as where the windows are indicated on the model itself.
Interestingly mine came with an apology letter saying that there will be a break before I get issue 3 but I will be given a free gift to make up for it. I've not seen that mentioned before, and I presume that only applies to UK subscribers.

BBTS put the jumbo Defiant up for preorder:

Maybe since there aren't windows, there wont be any paint issues on this one?

Could have the federation swoosh backwards again. =)
Forgot about that.
Since its just a blown up version of their small model, it wouldn't surprise me if that issue popped up again.

There is a fairly large number of windows on the underside of the Defiant, they're moulded on the regular model and painted. At least on my model they're all spot on. Though I wouldn't be surprised when the windows are misaligned on the big version, after the quality of at least the windwow alignment went downhill fast and the Defiant is one of the first issues.

That big Defiant has the same paint-job as its smaller counterpart, and not the updated application we saw with the Mirror version:
Obviously ignore the pennants, I'm just talking about the more accurate hull colouring on the top of the nacelles. I'm hoping for paint quality as good as Voyager's with this. Still can't shake a bit of slight disappointment that I thought it was the smaller version at first (as in, there's nothing they've added to make it 'look' XL). I wonder if the ventral pulse phasers will be on this model?
I really hope so...

Jumbo Defiant why yes please!

I think the Federation designs are iconic, and certainly Star Trek enough. Theyre the reason Im sticking with it since I like virtually all of them.
The Klingon designs are more iffy, with the Sarcophagus ship and the... Veqlargh? Being even remotely Klingon looking.
Im definetly looking forward to the Cardenas class.

That is a good one, I also love the Sheppard Class and whatever the Europa is, Nimitz Class?
I really hope so...
Think this is it, or just the stand?

I am certain that is the lower pulse phaser cannon, as the upper one is also there. The smaller model doesn't have them.

After looking at all the other jumbos, with the exception of Voyager they all have their stands in the centre of the base plate. However, it REALLY does look like the pulse phaser... lol
Nice catch whatever it is. That's a proper 50/50 thing right now.
