It isn't the size of the Kraken that bothers me, it's the weapons. The cannons look tiny, but that's an easy enough fix. A bit more difficult are the badly mismatched missile racks- they're ATM-6s, why are some of them one size and the other a totally different setup? It's one of maybe half a dozen minis on my 'never on my shelf' list as a result (and thus the XR was a welcome addition!)
...then again, with my well-documented luck using the Kraken-1, perhaps it's just as well I don't invest in the damned things much. xp
