Round2 (AMT) has dusted off many classic Star Trek kits recently including the 1/1400 Enterprise E featured in the last three Next Generation movies. The kit is molded in white plastic and includes a very nice, functional stand. Decals are pretty basic with no “Aztecing” markings featured in the much smaller Cadet series version of this ship. I’m knocking a star off my rating because AMT should have included them with the larger, much more expensive model in my opinion. Parts fit is so-so with a few gaps and some sinkholes typical of similar AMT Star Trek kits. Clear parts for the engines and deflector dish will need to be tinted with the appropriate color. With some putty, sanding, masking, and painting, the model is a fairly quick build and will present a nice model. Add extra decals and lighting, and it can be spectacular.

Beautiful kit I actually think the Enterprise-E is a little ugly-looking, but this model tempts me to change my mind. Its amazing how sleek it is. A fun build.

Overall good kit. Some fit issues in tight spots. If you're going to paint according to instructions prepare for a lot of masking and paint mixing.
