I think I can make out a line across the middle, which which suggests they
are two parts. But I don't think they're 4x4 domes either...

They can't be 8x8 plates, if the trans-blue dishes are 8x8. They must be at
least 10x10.

Me too. For one thing, the designers made the hull by placing the wing
plates so they face angled-edge-inward. With the straight edge of the wings
facing outward, it makes for a clean line along the edge of the hull. I
considered this approach when I made my ISD, but found it left too wide a
gap down the middle. Maybe with the larger scale, the crease will be less
obvoius.
Speaking of scale, it's almost exactly twice as long as mine - it's 37"x23"
and mine is about 19"x12". That would make it almost eight times as big, by
volume. It really boggles the mind.
I've already cleared out some prime shelf space room for my 10030...
