  1. I decided to take a break from working on my layout and trains and pulled out a model I bought over 6 years ago. I first saw this ship in Star Trek 8: First Contact and of course I had to have it. I searched everywhere but no commercial model was available for this class, as well as many other Star Trek Ship Classes. Years later I stumbled across the Federation Model website, which listed many backyard resin kits of most of non commercial ships, and to my surprise they had many ships in the scale I wanted to collect my fleet in 1/1400 (or Scale with the AMT/ERTL/PLATZ Enterprise D model). I ordered the Akira Class and Defiant Class ships in 1/1400 and put them on the shelf. http://www.federationmodels.com/ Flash forward, after getting the wife hooked on Star Trek, we watch about 5 hours of Star Trek a week, we are done TOS, and TNG and are now on season 3 of DS9. I decided to pull the Akira Class ship out and start to assemble it. I was surprised how well detailed the kit was and honestly this is some of the best work in resin I have seen, no warped parts, only one small air bubble on the entire ship. After scrubbing the model with Comet to remove the mold release I sanded down the flash (what little of it there was) and glued the 7 pieces together. Wow what a beautiful ship, once I find my model putty I will fill the seems between the joints and eventually start painting it. I think I might have start picking up more ship classes listed on the website to round out my fleet. ;) For the record the class of ship was named Akira after the 1980s anime movie of the same name. :)
