 The Biggest "Big E" |

Wow. I got this in the mail today. The box is huge. I've bought dvd players in smaller boxes. Against my better judgement (I don't have time to start on this right away), I opened the box (even the box is solid) and was confronted with two warp engines and the primary saucer filling the box. I know they say it's 32" (the box says 35"), but that still doesn't prepare you for the first sight of what is going to be one very large model. Sprue after sprue of plastic fill the box, including a ton of clear plastic for the main deflector, windows, photon torpedo tubes, and the warp nacelles. This kit just begs for lighting. But even if you don't, this is still an amazing kit. There's detailed interiors for the officer's lounge (below & behind the bridge), the arboretum (the big windows in the secondary hull) and the shuttle bay (complete with several types of shuttles). Oddly, though, there is nothing for the rec deck (the larger square windows on the back right of the saucer).
And if the thought of painting the famous aztec pattern is a little too daunting for you, Round 2/ Polar Lights have thoughtfully included decals of the aztec pattern for the entire ship, allowing anyone to produce an attractive model.
This is a big, beautiful kit, and is sure to be the centerpiece of any modeller's collection. Definitely a "must have," especially at this price. |

this model of the U.S.S Enterprise N.C.C-1701-A is simply amazing, the box was huge, when I found a knife and opened it, the first things you see are the 2 nacelles and the main disk.
The only downside I found to this model, is that you have to buy 16 separate paints, and even then, they indicate the best brands to buy it from, and the exact color name and number (like not just "Blue" more like: "Eggshell blue #1769")
I'm gonna spend months building it, and when I'm finished I'll upload a video review! |

| I got this as a Christmas present that I picked out for myself and will probably be spending the next several months putting it together. The size and detail are amazing and if you're planning on installing lights in it (which I am), it's almost like it was designed for it. There are a ton of after-market kits you can buy to make it more accurate or to assist in lighting or to just add crazy details to it, so depending on how ambitious you are this could just be the first purchase in a long list of items needed to get this completed. How crazy you go with it is completely up to you since it's amazing straight out of the box. |
Wow!

This is no toy, it's a collectable! And the size... It's HUGE.
I found this online while trying to find a replica of a model I built in the early 1970's. Yes, I'm an old kid. I haven't built the model yet, but upon opening the box, every detail appears to be fantastic. The final product will only be attributed to my model building skills, but I pieced together the saucer section and I was quite impressed.
This is far better than the model I built decades ago. I could only give it a 5 because that's the highest product rating Amazon has. It's worth every penny. |
