The USS Enterprise Command Bridge kit is a nice addition to a Star Trek collection, but the kit does not include all of the parts needed to make a complete bridge. The bridge is complete from the turbolift door around the starboard side to the main viewscreen, but the bridge stations from the port side of the turbolift door to the port side of the main viewscreen are absent. If the builder wants a complete bridge, a second kit will have to be obtained in order to fill in the four missing segments on the port side.

The parts are molded in gray styrene and are fairly detailed. The kit includes figures for Captain Kirk (seated), Mr. Spock (standing), and Mr. Sulu (standing). No other figures are included in the kit.

The kit comes with decals for the bridge stations, the control panels, and the main viewscreen. An alternate backlit set of panels is available from Outer Space Outfitters, and can be purchased from Federation Models. The set only covers the same sections provided for in the basic kit, so the kit-supplied decals will need to be used for the other stations.

The completed kit is about 12 inches in diameter.
