If this is something R2 is considering, I hope they would choose to build new ones from the 1000 scale version. That E-B kit is garbagejkb-1 wrote:I wonder which would be least expensive, to rework the Cadet mold of the E-B into an Excelsior, or create a new one from the plans for the 1/1000 parts to build the NX or NCC version.

Worst of the lot. Soft, difficult to assemble and looks awful. The reason I do not have one on the shelf.el gato wrote:If this is something R2 is considering, I hope they would choose to build new ones from the 1000 scale version. That E-B kit is garbage

Who in god's name makes a kit that size without guiding pins? I have nightmares about those nacelles, too.Tesral wrote:Worst of the lot. Soft, difficult to assemble and looks awful.

Surely not worse than the 537 Reliant: also soft and inaccurate but, more dramatically, absolutely miserable alignment problems on the major parts (hull, nacelles).Tesral wrote:Worst of the lot.

Of the 13 R2/PL/AMT 2500 offerings, definitely the worst
