Hey, that is good news. Nice kits, if a tiny bit fiddly at times. Thanks for posting.

Hot dog. I'm getting all the Aliens-related kits. They disappeared off the shelves about he time they hit town here originally!

It also looks like Bandai is releasing the 1/850 Enterprise in it's 1701-A version. Look at the 4th picture down on this website: http://www.hobby.co.jp/hobby_show/pla/04.htm

What I can't make out is the color of the secondary hull. Is it green as in the TMP or is it Blue as in the later movies?

Go to this link: http://www.stfan.com/

Scroll down until you see the pics of the Voyager ship. I can't read Japanese but I tried Babelfish translation. The name of Bandai does appear and there is a mentioning of a "D type" in the text above the pics.

Can someone translate?

The Phaser strip looks a bit "heavy" to me and the panel lines look a bit wide.

I have all of Bandai's kits so far and have been very happy with them. but when I was trying to translate this website, it's hard to read, even in english. The words Bandai and "D type" and the pictures all are in the same paragraph.

J-Hulk, can you check this out in the above link? Bandai is supposed to be announcing their next Star Trek kits at the model show this weekend.
