From the old trading card I had, I always thought it was mainly purple.
I was shocked when I saw pictures of it in green.

To me, it just doesn't look like it appeared on screen.
...I'm also a little disappointed in the lack of detail present on the kit compared to the original. It aint Bandai that's for sure
I actually see this kit as R2 making an honest effort to up their game in terms of accuracy and detail to follow the lead of companies like Bandai. As a consumer, I want to see companies pushing the art and technology forward. The K'tinga won't yet match the sharpness of detail of some of Bandai's best offerings, but it is definitely a leap forward for the company.
Now if they'd only retool the E-refit...
I wasn't being critical of you being critical, Edge. :cheers I agree about the paint job. It's a work in progress. I think that unlike the TOS and Refit E's, there is more subjective wiggle room to how its painted based on it's varying on-screen appearance.
LACK OF DETAIL? Are you freakin' kidding me? This could be one of *the* most authentic sci-fi model kits ever attempted (at least for Star Trek) in terms of trying to match, as closely as possible, the details on the original. Really, the only compromises here were those required to A) make it via injection molding and B) make it 1/2 the size of the original subject. They could've cut all kinds of corners in terms of detailing and parts count, but they didn't. You should see the parts count in this thing.
It's not intended to (color wise).
