This AMT model of the Enterprise was a real booger to put together. There were very few pins and pockets for parts alignment and the modeling glue took forever to set up. I ended up using Gorilla Super Glue instead. In some areas I had to use a hot glue gun. The forward end caps of the warp nacelles were too thick to let any of the red LED light thru so I used two caps from 1 liter soda bottles instead. Also, I had to drill a hole thru the middle of the two clear plastic domes because the LEDs I installed were just a bit too tall and I had nothing else to use.
The decals for this model are NOT the kind where you dip the paper in water to loosen them up. You simply peel them off the dry paper and they stick on. The instructions say that you need to dip them in water, but that is wrong.
It took me 2 weeks to put this thing together which is way longer than I expected due mostly to all the wiring of the LEDs that I did. I powered it with a 5 VDC wall wart from an old cell phone.
