My build of this kit was a real pain. The decals on the saucer and neck are really touchy.

Fast Fwd.. parts assembled and painted waiting for my decal solution to come but that's OK it will give the gloss white a few days to dry up nicely. Quick shot of the decals im using and the painted sub assembly's.

Re: 1/1000 Enterprise refit

All painted,including the bottom of the saucer (seen where a lot of people complaining that they wish they had done that before they placed the decals so i made note of that on mine)... installed the clear pieces the white is still a bit tacky should be able to start the decaling tomorrow.

The biggest thing about this model is knowing when to stop it real easy to mess up already applied decals if you try to push it to far. Top part of the saucer ,starboard top side of the main ship and top of one of the nacelles. And that's all for tonight.

The decaling carries on had a little bit of a problem with the decal on the nacelle bottom not really sure how it fit i believe its right but not positive. looks OK anyway.

Re: 1/1000 Enterprise refit

Great job! I built that kit up a while back with the same decals and really enjoyed it. I like what you did with the inboard nacelles with the black and purple, I did that on my 1/350 Enterprise.

Re: 1/1000 Enterprise refit

Just finished my 1/1000 scale refit Enterprise. Lots of decals,although the saucer section looks to drop a bit it dose not in real life, not a clue why some of the pictures make it look like this.

Here's some shots:

Good show! I have a 1/350 Enterprise waiting in a box and I'll say your start to finish on this will certainly embarrass mine, whenever I start and finish it...
