Polar Lights USS Enterprise Refit Model Kit vs Polar Lights 1/1000 USS Enterprise Refit

Buy the 1/350 Polar Lights kit if you want a large, detailed centerpiece and are willing to paint, glue and light it. Buy the 1/1000 kit if you want a quick, compact refit for a shelf with far less work. The 1/350 is the better build and the more impressive display; the 1/1000 is the easier, tidier entry point.

  • Choose the 1/350 Polar Lights kit if you have bench space, paint and glue, and want a big Enterprise you can light and detail.
  • Choose the 1/1000 kit if you want a small refit that goes together fast and fits a crowded shelf.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a first Star Trek build?
The 1/1000 kit. It snaps together in about an hour and needs no glue. The 1/350 kit is a longer glue-and-paint project.
Which makes the better display piece?
The 1/350 kit. At about 35 inches it dominates a shelf and shows far more detail, including the docking bay.
Do both need paint?
Yes. Neither includes paint, and both are molded in grey. The 1/350 rewards paint and lighting more because of its size.
Can I build the 1/350 as the Enterprise-A?
Yes. The decal sheet includes optional markings to badge it as NCC-1701-A.
Is the 1/1000 kit worth stepping up to the 1/350?
Only if you want a large, detailed project. If you want a quick shelf model, the 1/1000 does the job.
Which is easier to store?
The 1/1000 kit. At about 9 inches it fits on a crowded shelf; the 1/350 needs a long, clear space.
