Star trek model

[David]

Hi guys/gals wondering if you could help. I'm looking for a model to build and thought of the enterprise. I would prefer either A or D versions. My problem is which one to go for. I would prefer something on a grandish scale (over 12inches). Any ideas?

Mods feel free to move if I've posted in the wrong section

Many thanks

David

That second link would be a good one as it is the original release of the Refit from AMT and as such has none of the inaccurate hull plating as seen on later kits (TWOK onwards).
The D would be a good kit to get but I would wait for a bit as that one is going to be re-released sometime soon in clear plastic which is ideal for people who light their kits. It is also going to include decals for all the aztecing. It's about 18" long
They are both decently sized and the D can be displayed seperated if wanted.

D would be my prefered option. Any ideas of the maker and when it is due for release?

I'm liking the large model on eBay, just the shipping cost that pushes the price up, I'll be keeping an eye on it though.......

It's a re-release of the Original AMT kit. Round2 who took over the Star Trek models (excluding the Voyager series) has been re-releasing loads of the old kits. I've just checked the Starship Modeller store and it is apparently already out.
Starship Modeler Store: 1/1400 USS Enterprise-D (Clear)

Looks good, just sent them an email about shipping costs. Thanks for that...
