Polar Lights Star Trek: USS Grissom and Klingnon BoP 1:1000 Scale Snap Model Kit (POL957M)

A quick and easy build of two great ship designs. A word of warning that while most fans will know and expect the Bird of Prey's (BoP) "fun size" in comparison to most Federation ships, some may be surprised at just how small the Grissom is. If you're thinking the saucer will be similar in size to the Enterprise or Reliant's saucers, be aware that as a science vessel, the Grissom is much smaller-- closer in size to the BoP. This makes the menace of the BoP all the more scary, as unlike its diminutive size against Federation ships of the line, it's so much bigger and more imposing in comparison to the ill-fated Grissom. The parts go together well with the Grissom being mostly smooth surfaces relying on decals for detail. The decals are excellent and work beautifully with Gunze Mr. Mark Softer. Meanwhile, the BoP's details are mostly engraved surface textures that will react well to simple washes. This set really highlights the differences in design philosophy between the Federation and Klingon ships. Most assembly can be done in an evening with more time being spent on paint and decals depending on your taste. Enjoy!

It arrived on time and worth the price

Nice bundled kit with two pivotal ships from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. Both are fairly small in scale but go well with the 1/1000 Enterprise Refit kit. The Grissom is very basic. Details are a bit muted. It seems to rely on a abundance of waterslide decals to make up for the lack details. The decals were very frustrating. The longer pieces tore easily which lead to a lot of missing markings. The Bird of Prey was much better. Lots of details are molded in the kit. Decals are minimal. My biggest complaint is that the wings can only be mounted in "cruise" or "attack" modes separately/permanently. It could have been engineered to be modular which would have made this kit fantastic. Both kits are on par with Polar Lights meaning the fit of the pieces are hit and miss. There are gaps in some places. It takes some skill to give these kits a flawless finish which I did not do. But, overall I do like the kits and glad to add to my collection.

I'm currently building this kit. I've learned the decals are difficult to use and Aztek decals may be a better upgrade. However, as a first time model, I'm really enjoying this ship combo.

Love the Klingon just wish they had a 1/1000 Kruge to go with it.

I've been looking for a Star Trek range in one scale for some time. As much as this is 1/1000, at least its all the same scale. I would have liked the Enterprise-D in the same scale. Being 1/1000 scale does mean that they will take up less room but still look nice. These kits being snap together, means that most of the effort is in the painting and finishing.

My model arrived yesterday and I have not assembled the 2 kits yet but they look very detailed and will build into 2 very nice models !!!

I have been waiting for this model forever! It's so great to have my hands on it finally. It will fit great with my other Star Trek models after I'm finished with it. Item came perfectly packaged and no issues, fast delivery!

グリソムは劇中に登場した同型艦の番号と艦名が全てデカールに入っています。バードオブプレイは主翼基部パーツの選択で航行モードと戦闘モードが選べます。付属するスタンドは微妙に小さいです。塗装とデカールの指定は下箱側面にあります。日本語の説明は入っていません。

Ist ein tolles modell

グリソムもバードオブプレイも模型の範疇から外れているように思います 大きなパーツで合わせるだけ、この前にボイジャー・エンタープライズ・ NX01のエンタープライズ、も購入して組み立ていたので物足りなく思いました。

Sehr gute Modelle zu einem vernünftigen Preis.

No probs…. No issues….
