1/1400 Makro Trek USS Vico

[Dr_Corsa]

Hi!

Here is an nother Federation ship, the Obert Class U.S.S. Vico, NAR-18834 from Makro Trek.

It's an old model kit, I get it used from ebay. I painted it like the studio model with Revell and Humbrol colours.

For decaling I used different decals from diferent kits to perform the best resolt, like on the USS Pegasus. I choosed this Name, because it's only one of two federation ships (and minimum one dry dock) with the NAR registry. Very funny

About the design: fabricated for ST 2 the Grissom is one of the worst design mistakes of starfleet, sorry guys, but Im not really a fan of this hole between the upper and lover sections.

But as a part of my fleet and followed by my dream to get all ship classes it's a must have ship.

What do You think about this class?

Fine job making a silk purse out of the sow's ear.

I too get severely annoyed with some of the designs of Movie era ships. Like how on earth do the personnel access the secondary hull? Turbo lift? Stairwell? Slides?

I think 3 ways are possible there:

- as shown at ex astris scientia: the turbolifts slides up and down
- like on the 26 century's Enterprise-J there ar no lifts, but some transporters on the ship
- like Trip in last season of Ent between the NX-01 and NX-02 at warp 5: cable pull
