Question about AMT's USS Reliant.

#1 Post by Warped Speed »

Was there any changes/improvements done to the molds on the latest reissue of this kit compared to the older kit? I have the older kit and wondered if there were any significant changes (if any). The 2017 re-box.

Thanks for any info,
Carl-

Not that familiar with the kit(s). But if you go to You Tube and look up Lou Dalmasso; he's the Aztek Dummy vinyl mask guy and is quite the ST fan. I know he did a few Reliants. And would prolly mention any differences in the different repops.

Round 2s web page for the kit indicates "new battle damage decals", but no mention of changes to the molds.

The older I get, the better it was.

Yeah that's the 1/1000 PL reissue, I was referring to the AMT/R2 1/537 reissue one (2017 issue).

But thanks anywho,

I believe the side walls on the saucer were updated/corrected a bit with the new release. If you go with the Green Strawberry photo etch detail set it won't matter. Those sections are all covered with the new parts https://greenstrawberry.cz/star-trek/us ... r-376.html
