Polar Lights NCC-1701-A Reissue

[kalkamel]

Has anyone bought this? Any reviews? I heard the reissue comes with the aztec decals. That would make the kit a lot less daunting.

Got one today! The casting seems a bit less sharp. It's not terriebl by any stretch, but it looks . .different.

The aztecs decals are excellent . . and are very simplisitc. They cry out for a couple of touchups and misting overcoats.

I'm pretty happy to have a third beasty on the shelf . . now if SSM could get more of the aztecs for my other kits!!!

If there isn't one at a hobby shop near you, I've always had really good customer service at culttvman:

Another place is Tower Hobbies. They usually offer discounts if you spend a certain amount of money(which isn't hard to do there).

Do you guys know if the decal sheet includes all the pastel blues and greens on the secondary hull, up near the deflector dish?

So I'm curious - does the entire ship get covered in decal sheets then? To accomplish the aztecing?

i saw a build on youtube that convinced me to buy one.
the blue and green was painted using maskintape and the aztec decals and then removed.
here's the link to the youtube builder http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsauGcfodb4&feature=related

Hey bud..
Here is a build with no main color painting any kind, no seam filling, minimal hand painting done.

I just ordered one over at StarshipModeler, it looks like a great and fun kit for the less skilled among us.
