| | MINI Super Star Destroyer |
 | | This model is made from the pieces that come in offical lego kit 4492 (MINI Star Destroyer, at left), rearranged to resemble Darth Vader's flag-ship, the Executor, colloquially known as a Super Star Destroyer. |
 | | This is because the SSD design is proportionally much shallower, and somewhat narrower, than that of the Star Destroyer, reflecting the distinctive profiles of the ships as they appear in the Star Wars films. |
 | | The real Super Star Destroyer has thirteen engines in all: a bank of three engines in the middle, which are modelled here; ahead of and outside these, two further pairs of engines; and ahead of and outside those, two triples of steering engines. |
