The Enterprise NX-01 model kit by Polar Lights may be a snap kit, but it's no snap to assemble. There are dozens of tiny little parts that challenged even my best tweezers. In a few instances (the running lights along the outer edge of the hull), I broke pieces trying to get them off the trees. Thankfully, a little dab of paint and they won't be noticeable. So my advice is to take your time with this kit, be VERY careful (especially of the clear parts), and be sparing with the paint, as even a light coat changes the parts' ability to snap into place. All of my complaints aside, no one noticed any of my gripes until I pointed them out. Once assembled, though, this is a nice looking ship. Its scale and number of small parts make it a challenge to assemble.

I have not had a chance to build this particular kit, but I do like the fact that you can build the regular, or refit version, and it includes decals for the alternate universe ISS variant as well.

Love this scale of star ship and its classic look. Plan on getting a second one to make the Columbia.
