Went and had another look at the kit tonight. After rummaging through the box, I decided against getting it. The main reason is that I'm not that big of an Enterprise "E" fan, but the other reason is that to me, the complicated pre-painted pattern, while probably accurately replicated, is just way too high-contrast in my opinion. I mean, it was just screaming at me! My first impression was of an Enterprise E that had been drawn by Jack Kirby in the blazing colors of the Golden Age of Marvel. Just my opinion, of course, but the E in the films seems to have had a much more subdued overall finish.
Now, for you serious hardcore Trek modelers who had no intentions of keeping it in the Bandai paint to start with, I reckon that's no problem, since ya'll will repaint the whole ship anyway (what'll ya do for decals, though?), but I was going to be nice and lazy and completely content to keep it box-stock. But since it's got that wacky black-light Pink Floyd poster look to it, I'm gonna have to pass.
Too bad, since I thought the STTMP Enterprise was done beautifully.
I have heard some purists complain about that one too, though.
Anyway, that's my opinion of the kit. You may think it's perfect, or intend to repaint anyway, in which case, I'd say get it, cuz it's certainly a very good kit aside form the factory dazzle finish!
