That looks like a great model, though what's with the little "pencil lines" on the front ends of the nacelles?
It DOES look like many of the details are etched into the plastic, which gives it a nice look.

The windows in that pre-production piece are recessed. They will not be on the production units.
The model is molded in clear plastic, painted, then the windows are laser cut into the paintwork which gives you nice, almost flush (apart from the depth of the paint) windows.

The "pencil lines" are actually a spinning internal structure which is usually called "fan blades".
However unlike on the MR prototype the fan blades should not meet in the middle... (for this reason we think the "blades" might be lines drawn on a clear inner dome)...

Right, I understand what the nacelle tip is supposed to look like, just that those lines look like they are on the outside of the domes.
And, as you say, they are connected.
After hearing about the casting and laser engraving process for the windows, I would expect that this, too, is an artifact that will look different when it is in actual production.
By the way, nice frame grabs.
This looks like it's going to be a very sweet display.
Anyone have more info on release date or price? (Maybe it was posted already and I just missed it - if so, my apologies.)

Gee, That really looks like the old Unobtainium model, right down to the nacelle struts and detail. Hmmmmmmm.........

I think you picked a good choice to get the ENT instead. Besides,.. the waiting list for that rifle must be HUGE.
The 1701 is kind of a legendary dream made physical and more readily available anyway. Let's just hope it turns out well.
LOL...the 45mm or the 28mm? :confused

But it still looks great. And the price is much better than Unobtainiums.
Wish I had the bucks.......
