Round2 AMT1270M/12 AMT Star Trek modelbouwset, meerkleurig, replica

I built the previous incarnation of this AMT Enterprise bridge back in the 90s. At that time, you only got Spock, Kirk and Sulu figures with it. From what I can tell, the bridge itself is exactly the same this time around, but they've upped the figure count to 6 bodies with 10 interchangeable heads.That still leaves you one bridge crew member short. Poor Chekov. At least they give you one female body and a nice sculpt of Uhura's head to put on it.Remarkably, while my model from the 90s is long gone, I found the 3 figures from that original model in my kit bit drawer and was able to make up a full bridge crew!The head sculpts from the original are FAR superior to the heads that come with the current kit. I can't tell if it's a matter of the molds getting worn out or just new, inferior sculpts. I chose to use my original Spock, Kirk and Sulu heads. i mixed and matched the bodies (no appreciable difference between the new and old ones) and finally got Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Uhura, Sulu, Scotty AND Chekov onto the bridge.The model is generally well fitted. I only needed a bit of putty on the seams of the figures and was able to just glue and paint all the bridge components without any extra effort beyond filing a few edges.The one disappointment is the decals. They're amazing, visually, but the fit is lousy. The printed part fits nicely in the raised squares on the consoles, but the clear edges make EVERY decal too wide and you have to fiddle the edges down or trim the decals before applying to get a nice fit. You also need to file down the raised detail on the command chair and navigation console if you want to apply the decals rather than paint those details. It'd be nice if they'd included a smooth version of those parts as an option.I rated it a 5 star kit because it just looks so darned good when it's done. In fairness and as a builder, it's more like a 4 and a half.

En el año 1969, lo adquirí y Rebell lodela era el fabricante, y aún tengo unas piezas de ese tiempo, que eran de color gris y otras de color como paja. Tenerlo de nuevo me vienen buenos recuerdos, ya que desde niño Star Trek marco parte de mi niñes. Espero que, el que lo adquiera también tenga buenos recuerdos. Pronto lo empezaré a pintar y armar y subiré unas imágenes.

excellent

Il modellino non è particolarmente dettagliato e la plastica non è delle migliori, ma è anche l'unico che abbia trovato che ti permette di ricostruire il ponte di comando dell'Enterprise. Potevano inserire più personaggi, dei quali abbiamo la testa ma non i corpi, ma resta un acquisto quasi obbligato per gli appassionati di modellismo e di Star Trek. Il prezzo è un po' alto.

A much upgraded version of the old AMT kit with a complete set of wall panels and an extra three figures that include likenesses of the regulars. Certainly an improvement on the original kit with plenty of scope for add ons. There are still some parts that require improvement such as the turbo lift door section but these can be addressed by the experienced modeller. Due to its complexity definitely not a lit for the beginner.
