Space... The final frontier... These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise...

With these words, adventure ensued in each episode of STAR TREK: The Original Series. The U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 was as much an icon as each of its crewmembers: the intrepid Captain Kirk, science officer Spock, Doctor "Bones" McCoy, Lieutenant Uhura and the ships engineer, Mr Scott.

The Enterprise herself was featured as the setting for some of the most dramatic moments of the series. The bridge was the command center where the iconic helm and captain's chair were surrounded by stations that controlled every area of the ship. From there encounters were overseen with everything from the uncontrollable power found at the edges of space to new "life forms" like the robotic Nomad probe. The action spread beyond the the bridge to areas of the ship like engineering where Captain Kirk confronted the formidable Khan Noonien Singh. Other areas of the ship such as the transporter roon and shuttlebayserved as the points from which further adventures were launched.

This plastic model kit brings many areas of the U.S.S. Enterprise to light allowing exploration of the ship from stem to stern. Removable panels can be installed to build a complete ship, or the ship can be left open for full display. A decal sheet supplies all the ship markings as well as some interior details. A metal tube that attaches to a dome base supports the ship. Pictoral instructions are included to direct assembly.
