Advice needed on the 1/350 scale PL Enterprise Refit.- How do I light this thing?

Sean,

Welcome to the FSM Forum.  Just take your time with this kit.  Here is another link for some reference:      http://forums.scalehobby.com/viewthread.php?tid=5676

First, WELCOME!

Second, you've got you a great kit there.  This is the model of choice for Trek fans right now.

If I had known how kick a$$ it is I would have gotten it before starting my Enterprise A from AMT.

I want suggest that you go over to stashipmodeler.net for any advice you might possibly need regarding accurizing, lighting and everything else you could imagine.

here's a great link:

One of things I definitely want to advise you on is to get every aftermarket part available for any Trek model you build.

EDIT: I almost forgot.  There are plenty of free Aztecking decals available there as well.  There is a set available specicifically for the color detail of the PL Refit and there are ones that were made for the AMT version which 1/537 as opposed to your 1/350 PL.  You can use these as well, you just need to adjust the size in Photoshop in print with preview.  Practice on plain paper first.  If you can't track them down (they are actually at the .com version of the site), let me know and I will email you a copy. 

1st off Sean, to our world!! you'll find there's some helpful people here.

I think you should look at this thread

There are plenty of Refits being done here & I have one in my stash waiting for me to dig in.

Enjoy!!
