Hi although I'm usually a supporter of such things in this case I think it's a little too much for a first project. It's much too large and  It has to be sectioned, split up into chunks, otherwise it'll be just another junky scifi ship mod. 

You need to split it in order to get proper and decent part collision you also want the game to treat it properly, and most importantly you want to be able to enjoy using it , if it needs a million units of torque in order to be stable , it's no fun and is indeed junk.  

Once you've decided on how to split it up, and indeed starting splitting it up, you will need to close all the now open faces and apply a texture that works with the rest of the ship. Unless you're quite familiar with model making i could see you becoming easily discouraged due to the huge amount of time it will take to accomplish even prepping the model for unity.

Also i view that model with some suspicion as i've a horrible feeling it's a sketchup thing, and as such can present numerous problems when it comes to model preparation, such as duplicate faces , tons of unnecessary geometry and a load of other things that are just annoying. 

If you are serious about doing this and are not discouraged by the 80 hours or so it would take to do,   you would be better off simply using that as a pattern and remaking it yourself, despite how it looks it's just a load of simple geometry piled up in a heap.  So given time even a complete novice could replicate the craft using nothing more than primitive shapes and a bit of blenderFoo , Plus this way you learn how to 3d model and prepare a model and put it in a game and it will be all yours .
