I checked my assumption with another blog I follow, and according to the blog writer, yes, this is indeed a First Order Star Destroyer.
The blog also mentioned that the “doors” of this year’s calendar are easier to open - I actually thought that same thing after opening this first door. The doors of the calendars have always had perforations and a little tab to punch in so that one can then pull out the door. The perforations were often not well done, and opening the door often resulted in tears and frustration. But wow - the perforations this year are much better and the door opened smoothly!
Though the model is somewhat lackluster, that's also a fault of the lackluster design of the ships in Star Wars. The original Star Destroyers were awesome - the First Order ones lack finesse. They are an inelegant design. In my opinion, that is. So much so that I did not buy the LEGO version of the ships. They're even uglier in LEGO.
But given the few pieces that make this mini-model, I'll give them credit for making it work. It's a good start to the Advent Calendar!
