Short answer: not really.

Long answer: Sort of. There was a limited edition resin one done a couple of years ago by one of the posters on SSM; there may be more now. Keep an eye out on Starship Modeler for that kind of thing. The Tantive IV is one of the holy grail kits for a lot of people.

Then again, there is the monster Lego one...

Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...

The LEGO one looks real interesting but I'll have to wait until the first of the year to get it and I WILL be glueing the beast together  ;D

that's what I heard too, although I was under the impression that they had not built the model yet when thedecision was made...

As to models; I'm sure I saw something on SSM last year... go forth and ask them!
There are no good kits, bad kits or grail kits, just kitbash fodder.

you may want to try either monstersinmotion.com, or Federation Models. thought i saw the Ship you were looking for @ Federation Models! give them a Check.

Several years ago there was a toy version of this ship about 12-15" long.  It opened into a play set for SW Micro Machines IIRC.  Detail was pretty decent and I almost bought it to update it but passed on it  :banghead:

Randy Cooper makes a different version of the ship but it is $275.  Lots of detail though.
