Polar Lights 1:350 Scale Star Trek Starship Enterprise, Part 12

Here's the first complete, everything-connected lighting test prior to final assembly. It works!

I put on, and sealed, all the markings except the strips on the engines. I want to be able to look at the thing fully assembled to be sure I get them straight.

A decale was provided for a dark panel below the front of the engines. Unfortunately, it goes under the detail parts there, as well as slightly under the pylons. I tried to slip it under there but it was hopeless. I'll just have to do without that.

I would have been nice if that had been noted someplace.

Assembled, final decals applied, and everything still works.

The fit on these parts is extremely tight. I did not glue the pylons to the engines, nor the saucer section to the neck of the hull. Once I started dry fitting these I quickly realized that I wouldn't be able to get them out again to put glue on.

I'll do one more concluding post on this project when I get some good final photos taken. I also need to do more with the base. It's needs an on/off button at the very least.
