Who This Model Kit Is For

This kit suits hobbyists and collectors who appreciate display-quality science fiction models. It is ideal for fans of Star Trek and those who enjoy painting and finishing small-scale kits.

Modelling Notes

The Skill 2 designation suggests a straightforward build with a moderate number of parts. The included stand and metal support rod make for an elegant display once completed. Take time with decals and painting to bring out the translucent and clear plastic details; using fine brushes or an airbrush will improve results. The vintage packaging and unopened box also add collectable value for display or storage.
