Star Trek Enterprise NCC-1701 Photoetch Accurizing Set 1/650

Add the exterior enhancements to really make your Enterprise shine and ...

Finally include the bridge!

The only modification necessary to use this detail set is cutting a hole in the top of the primary hull to show the bridge. This is made even easier since we include a "washer" that fits in place to block lighting and provide a perfectly circular opening.

Production artwork shown. Additional images coming soon.

This super-detailed set includes:

•Accurate warp engine grills, including rear extensions (scaled slightly for production)
•Accurate warp engine pylon grills (again, scaled slightly for production)
•Bussard collector "rotors", suitable for lighting and compatible with the VooDooFX lighting kit — designed with the cooperation of VooDooFX
•Impulse engine exhausts suitable for lighting — match the new look of the CGI Enterprise, scaled to use with the included kit decals
•Side details for the front of the secondary hull
•The primary hull triangles, sized to match the Enterprise decals from JT Graphics — designed with the cooperation of JT Graphics
•Light blocking ring for the upper dome
•Two piece bridge!

What is Photoetch?

Photoetched parts are thick metal foils with portions eaten away by acid. A light-sensitive emulsion is covered with photographic negative and any unexposed areas of the emulsion are washed away. These areas can be eaten away by the acid. By properly designing the artwork, extremely detailed parts can be made.

Typically photoetch is used for cockpit detailing and other fine detail that is generally to small for injection or resin molding.

It ia also ideal for use as a light block in small or tight areas of a model that will be lit such as a grid or other area that would be difficult to mask effectively.

Also great for raised lettering and detail.
