Mine arrived this past Monday as well. I am extremely impressed by the engineering of this kit. It was obviously designed by fellow builders to make assembly and painting easier, plus it already has provisions for lighting built in. And the detail is superb (yes, there are grid lines on the saucer section – oh well…).
This is going to be a large and hefty model. It “feels solid” due to the internal reinforcement structure molded into the kit parts. No sagging nacelles or weak dorsal-saucer joint; they’ve all been designed well. When I see a kit this well-designed and thought-out, I really want to brag on it and hope that other manufacturers take note.
The “premier” edition that we have includes extra plastic parts and decals to model the 1st Pilot and 2nd Pilot versions as well as the series version. I was disappointed to see that alternate registry and Mirror Universe markings were not included; those are included in a separate accessory pack for $25. Doh!
I’m trying to rationalize purchasing more kits to build the Franz Joseph SC/DD, tug and DN. But I don’t know where I’ll display them… This is a big kit! Highly recommended.
