Here we have the old amt kit .There are less than 30 parts and the fit is awful  i got there in the end . I have done a bit of sratch building because it was  sparce to say the least .This is definatly  one for the serious ubgrade . The aftermarket decals were very good in selection going for the mirror universe version of the i.s.s enterprise shuttle. The only down side was the carrier film was very thick 2 coates of the famous klear.

It does look nice, but it's 1/35, not 1/72.

The really remarkable thing about the kit is that AMT designed the actual fullscale studio prop.  Then they made their kit -- and it's full of errors!
