All good points, Artman. Yes, she is a thing of beauty, flaws and all, particularly when lit. She is the best of her kind to date, by far. And no matter what Polar Lights, or anyone else, can produce in the future in the form of a kit, one would be hard pressed, I think, to create such an authentic replica... especially considering the amazing spinning bussards and superb paint and markings.
And speaking of the bussards, my E is brand new, maybe lit up for a total of a couple of minutes and the port bussard shows symptoms of the "disease" already (see pic). Note: although new, having purchased her MIB on Ebay, she had been sitting unopened in her box for several years now before I pulled her out just a few days ago.
Actually, my main complaint is the crooked deflector (see pic), and to a lesser degree the slight sag of the nacelles and saucer section. It is slight but both the nacelles and the saucer section seem to be slanting equally slightly in opposite directions.
