I have this a s well, and have no problem with it's appearance. The
"bridge"
is a fairly closed cupola and could really be any size, so I don't think
it
is much aof a scale giveaway.

I have no problm with this either. It has the looks of a somewhat
primitive
transport, and I use it as such. It only needs a decent paint job.

I use that one for DSII ;-)

There is also a set of 3 Snapfast fighters by AMT ERTL in a bigger boz
that
are about the right size for a cruiser, especially if you replace the
side panels by some weaponry bits.
