Defective starboard nacelle designDecember 25, 2008 Michael A. Crane Jr.(Everett, WA USA) I recently bought two Polar Lights Star Trek Enterprise model kits, from two separate sellers, and both have the same flaw, the starboard nacelle will not attach properly!
If it had happened to just one model I would think it was just a fluke, but when I had the exact same problem with a second model, then I knew it was an overall defect with that model design.
This is the newer, Round2, version of the Polar Lights Star Trek Enterprise model. I have no idea if the original Polar Lights model had the same defect, or not.
As it is, I cannot recommend this Polar Lights model to anyone. I will stick with the larger AMT version of the Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 model, with glue required. The glue-together models are more fun anyway.

For my 11 year old sonMarch 28, 2007 P. Warren(Little Rock, AR USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I ordered the Star Trek Enterprise Kit for my 11 year old "Trekkie" son. I like the fact the kit is easy to put together. In a matter of hours in one afternoon, my son managed to not only put the model together, but also set it up so he could change out the Engine "nacells"(?) at his leasure. This is not the first kit I have bought for him from this company and each one has been a good challenge for him, but not a difficult one. I will continue to buy other models from this company in the future.

Very good detail, great model for such a low price, needs painting to look good (as all models doe) just becareful with the warp nacales (sp?) it can be a littile pain to put on since you have to slide the flap under two pegs when you connect the engines themselfs to the ship (you might make the flip bend the two pegs, thus carful)
Almost No Tribble At AllJanuary 19, 2007 Cory Rothfeld(Orlando, FL. USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
My first model kit of this type. For $9.99 I have to say its definitely worth it and very accurate to the Constitution-class vessel. The bridge section is a teardrop shape, not the round shape like the AMT Constellation. A lot of people have problems with the warp nacelles. A good solution is this: the nacelle pylons are two-piece; build this piece first and then assemble the warp nacelles. I think it rather unusual to show a picture of the assembled model with these crooked nacelles in the instructions but who knows why its a minor error at best. Also, the registry for the Exeter in this kit (without cutting and arranging) is NCC-1672 not following the registry given in Franz Joseph's technical manual.
