Defiant NX-74205 was a prototype vessel designed specifically to combat the Borg after the disastrous encounter at the battle of Wolf 359.The compact warship was assigned to the Federation space station, Deep Space 9, as a counter measure to imminent Dominion incursions. Polar Lights presents this all-new snap-assembly kit of the fan-favourite spacecraft. The ship is engineered for simple assembly, and has been researched for the utmost authenticity. Moulded in Light Gray Skill 2, Snap Assembly Water-slide decals include pennants & registries, multi-coloured panels and black or white window options Dome base with metal support rod and optional hole cap Clear parts make the model perfect for lighting (Lights not included) All new Star Trek style guide packaging 6 3⁄4” long 30 pieces Set Contains: 1 x Model Kit Review: Shipping time and price was good. I didnt like that it wasn't even put in a difderent box for shipping. Just slapped a label on it and shipped it. Review: Polar Lights' 1/1000 Defiant (Star Trek Deep Space Nine) is a very nice little kit that is easy to build and exceptionally well engineered. Parts snap together without glue for the younger modeler or more time can be taken by the more skilled modeler. The model has clear parts and lighting could be added by the advanced modeler. The kit's parts fit well and little or no putty work will be required since there are no sinkholes or ejector pin marks visible. Decals include panel detailing so the modeler who wishes to do little or no painting can achieve a fairly realistic-looking model without a whole lot of effort. The model comes with Polar Lights' dome-stand so will make a nice desk-display. This is likely the best of the 1/1000 Star Trek kits done by Polar Lights; it was just really well-done. Highly recommended! ## Features - This is a model kit and needs assembling. - Scale: 1: 1000 - Neuheit 2018 - Socket Bau set snap Kit - Includes a dome base with metal support rod ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0734B6VCT | | Assembly Required | Yes | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Color | Multicoloured | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (403) | | Date First Available | 1 October 2017 | | Educational Objective(s) | Develop hands-on skills, patience and attention to detail; learn about Star Trek culture | | Item model number | POL952 | | Language | English | | Manufacturer recommended age | 14 years and up | | Material Type(s) | Metal | | Number of Puzzle Pieces | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 17.02 x 7.62 x 7.62 cm; 150 g | | Remote Control Included? | No | | Scale | 1:1000 | | tech_spec_battery_description_toys | No batteries required | ## Images ![POL952 1:1000 USS Defiant-Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Dy1fTz1XL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can someone who's assembled this post some photos of the finished model? It'd be nice if a ruler could be included or something to show the size too.** A: The description above say's it's 6.7 x 3 x 3 inches. **Q: Does this require painting?** A: "require"?... No, but I would recommend it. The molded color of light blue is much to dark. A very light gray is more appropriate. If you try to apply the waterslide decals over the bare plastic, they are likely to not adhere. Also, since the molded color is darker than it should be, not all the decals will contrast enough to be easily seen. Color of the plastic aside, this is a very nice kit that fits together very well. **Q: Does this come with some kind of stand?** A: Yes it comes with the dome stand **Q: I'm guessing this is a pretty small kit?** A: Defiant was a small ship but like capt Ben Sisko say she small but she have teeth ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***T on 17 March 2020* Shipping time and price was good.
