Q about 3-pc set
Posted by Hippy-Ed on Friday, February 24, 2006 11:58 AM
I just picked up the AMT kit 38388 with the B,C & E Enterprises... what scale are they & best colors to use on them? Any input will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Eddie

I'm thinking they are in 1/2500 like the 1701, A and D set.  The Polar Light's 1/350 A calls for white, off white, and light grey for the aztecing.  The B probably is the same as they are similar shades.  For the C you could probably go with the same colors as the D and maybe the E as well.

I have the Polar Lights 1701 which appears to be 1/1000  & the 1/350 NX-01 now this 3-pc set. The color lists are different is why I'm asking.  Is there a "standard" paint scheme for the ships or, are they suppose to be different?

I'm thinking with the C and E it would be a bluish gray color overall with a few different color accents and Buff colored escape pod hatches and the B would be a lightish gray but with the B I would try mixing white and silver for that desired color.

Thanks Mikeym,  I'll give that a try. I just don't want to spend an arm & a leg on paints for just a couple models. I'm on a very limited budgetAshamed [*^_^*]Banged Head [banghead]
