AMT Star Trek Klingon Bird of Prey 1:350 Scale Model Kit

So this kit has gotten a lot of stick on the reviews here. I get it, it can be a bit of a pain to put together but the best tool you need to start with is patience. Don't go hacking off the plastic pegs at first especially the ones around the saucer section you'll more than likely end up with a chunk out of the edge, reduce it gradually. It says on the box it's a snap fit kit. It is but I'd recommend using some glue anyway. You do get slight gaps it's a little unavoidable as with most kits you can get a model filler for this, being new and niave I used humbrol model filler it's too "chunky" for fine gaps so in future I'm going to use Vajalo plastic putty. Easy to apply with a fine applicator and files smooth with a soft ememery board, should leave the gaps more filled. The decals, wow, so many, very fiddly please research a decal fixative to make life easier and to get adhesion, don't beat yourself up if muck them up a bit. Some of them don't fit flush especially on the top of the saucer section. In all a pleasure to build despite a few niggles and kinks. Looks great when done and if you apply a bit of time and investment. There are some great build videos on you tube which will help greatly. Take your time and have fun !!

Fantastic gift for a geeky friend, was simple and easy to build but interesting. Great price for what you get and stands up against it's competitors. It's fantastically crafted and matches the image and great on a display.

Bought as a gift. Nothing wrong with it, but it's not the best fitting. The instructions aren't great either. But overall it's a nice model. Shouldn't be a problem for anyone with a bit of experience.

It's exactly what I expected it to be. I haven't built it yet, but I know it will not disappoint.

It looks really great when finished

Great item, great price

Builds into a great model. Eyecatching and impressive. Very easy to build but challenging to paint well. Metal landing gear included which is a nice touch.

Bit small for the money and a pain to put together, but its worth doing for any star trek fan

Bon rapport qualité/prix

Ottimo

Super gut Verpackt, immer gerne wieder.

Saw a returned version for a nice discounted price on Amazon but sadly it got "lost in transport". A real shame as I was looking forward to building it. :(

Muito bom e a transportadora não destruiu a embalagem.
