This is a Metal Earth steel-sheet model kit of the Star Trek Original Series U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701, the Constitution-class cruiser captained by James Kirk. You pop the laser-etched pieces from the metal sheets, bend the tabs and slot them together; no glue or solder is needed. Finished, it measures about 5 inches long and 2.4 inches wide and tall, so it is a small desk or shelf piece rather than a large display model. It suits Star Trek fans and experienced modelers who enjoy fiddly metalwork; beginners and younger builders often find the tiny tabs and thin parts frustrating, which is the main complaint in owner feedback.
