I bought this kit about three years ago from JTGraphics when he was selling off some of his older stock. It looks to be a nice kit, and it’s all vacuform plastic. He included a sheet of decals as part of the sale, and I chose the decals for the Pegasus. If the build goes badly for me at some point, I can always use expanding plumber’s foam to make an “asteroid” for the ship to be half-enclosed within.

The kit comes on two 13x10 sheets of vacuformed plastic, so all of the parts will need to be trimmed out of the sheet. The 17 parts appear to be crisply formed, and I think construction will be pretty straight-forward. A sheet of styrene stock is also included to help bulk-up the internal portions. I’ll probably have to add some internal supports for the warp nacelle pylons to make sure that they can support the weight of the upper portion of the ship.

One definite benefit to the kit is that it has the capability of being lit using LED bulbs, which is something I might consider at some point.

Three pages of instructions are included, and provide lots of illustrations to help the builder understand what needs to be done.

The completed kit measures about 13 inches long and 5.5 inches wide.
