Thanks guys, you are to kind. I got these kits off of ebay. The Equinox came as a single solid mold, no parts; while the miranda class had four parts, two (the nacelles) already glued on. Plus it was missing the decals. Got a replacement from JP Graphics and if you have never used their decals before let me tell you they are great! Alot more than what comes in the kit so well worth the price. This ended up being mostly an exercise in painting and as I'm not to good with the colors of Star Trek it was a little challenging. But in the end I'm happy with the result and they now reside on the shelf with my old AMT lights and sound Enterprise.
