AMT Star Trek U.S.S. Excelsior 1:1000 Scale Model Kit

I didn’t expect this model to be a super easy build when I bought it. The nacelles for excelsior class ships are really long, so I was prepared for getting the pylons to be a haste in itself. I had some trouble keeping it intact during the glueing, and I imagine that may be an issue with everyone who gets it, but the outcome was definitely worth the effort. I got the Aztec decal set with this model, and it definitely made it look much nicer. I only wish a chose a darker paint for the base color. All in all, it’s a great model, I just wish there were larger contact points for glueing it all together.

Quick and easy transaction

It's not the Enterprise B model, but the Excelsior. It does have the decals and is pretty good scale. I've enjoyed working on it. It is good quality, I would recommend this to any trekkie that would like to their collection.

I received my purchase today and it was packaged very well. The model box was perfect. A very nice change and I look forward to the build.

Is worth the money finally I got my hands on the excelsior model it easy to put lights in the model

This kit can be as easy or as hard as you want. With some patients, you can make it into a collection worthy piece. Highly recommend getting an aztec decal set.

I have made three of these models over each of the three times in my life time this ,item was released . There still a few issues with the model when attaching the nacelle pilon to the ships body the hole ends to small. It seems AMT deliberately left out half the decals of the decal sheet, so you would have to buy the upgrade sheet. The last two times I had built this model, it came with the decals of the blue triangle part on the bottom forward of the ship and decals for the blue area of the saucer. One thing I don't like they remodel the saucer to have more detail this includes the phaser ports previous versions just had a little flat surface so you can use the decal. The problem being the did not change the phaser decal. To put them on you have to completely sand off the phaser ports. They did not give this model the same treatment they gave the enterprise refit 1/537. Where that model got its phaser decal with holes to go over the molded parts so you could easily put them over the molded plastic. I can not recommend picking this up do to the fact the decal sheet has been reduced and is still pain to put on. The same problem I had when putting this together the previous times still remain. I highly recommend picking up the enterprise refit 1/537. As it is a larger model and it decal sheet has most of the ships decals except for the Aztec pattern.

OK repop of old AMT kit with Round 2 assistance. Not a fan of the general design which is like Enterprise E in many ways. Nacelles are tricky to get set on pylons and strongbacks are OK . Detailing is crisper and recessed panel lines make a better tooling. 47 parts make up the kit in crisp white styrene and clear parts. Many options in standard decals and Aztec is available at cost. Nice to have NX or NCC options and specific details for each, note impulse crystals and shuttle bay options too. Overall nice hero ship with plenty of possibilities. What is the difference between the Enterprise B and the NCCC 2000?

Basically the same kit that was released in the 90s but with some updated parts. Nice detail sheet that's far better than it's original and still contains The Lacota decals too. I have not built her yet but I did build the original kit years and years ago and yeah, it gives a nice finish with the proper care and skill.

Não gostei do produto. Muitas peças para montar. Poderia ter vindo montado.

Even though I didn't check the dimensions of the finished model,it actually is bigger than I thought it would be. I'm very Happy with the overall model,.it will be an interesting project once I paint it. Still trying to decide which version to build, although leaning to the Star Trek VI version

Schnelle Lieferung, 1 Woche vor der eigentlichen Ankunft und dazu noch sehr gut verpackt, dass Auspacken war eine Herausforderung was für sich spricht. An sich macht der Artikel auch einen mega Eindruck, an sich lassen die Anleitung von AMT zu wünschen, aber sonst einfach Top. Kann man nur empfehlen.

The Excelsior class is one of the most beautiful starships in STAR TREK. Unfortunately, this model kit is of poor quality. The scale is far too small for a ship with this level of detail. Unfortunately, some parts do not fit properly, especially the warp nacelles. A real disaster are the decals. Many of them crumbled after only a few seconds in the water, so they could not be used anymore. Furthermore, it is outrageous that the Aztec decals have to be bought separately. They are part of the original Excelsior model and should be included in the kit. Apart from the high price, these decals are not or only very difficult to get. The building instructions are unfortunately also quite imprecise (compared to other model kits). I hope that there will be a higher quality model kit of the Excelsior someday. This version is unfortunately a big disappointment.
