Model Kit Build – AMT 1:537 scale Constitution Refit – pt5

Model Kit Build – AMT 1:537 scale Constitution Refit – pt4

All Primed and ready AND rookie mistake using light grey primer for a WHITE ship. Then to turn around and paint her white again. BUT it did actually cause an unintended effect that I kinda dig for this- Makes some of the panel lines (that most detest) pop a little

Since it wont be the Enterprise, needed to change-up the title…

Next up…quick look at the replacement Bridge and lower Saucer sensor domes for my 1:537 scale Constitution-class refit. Should give my ship a little bit of a unique look compared to Enterprise

This is where the fun begins. My first time customizing a kit with conversion pieces. Turned out better than I was expecting it to. It isn’t perfect…but it works…Split-Impulse engine in place…
