AMT Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-C 1:1400 Scale Model Kit

Iconic design, accessible build

Step into the Star Trek universe with the AMT U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-C 1:1400 scale model kit. This meticulously detailed kit invites fans and hobbyists to recreate the Ambassador-class vessel with care, offering a display-worthy piece that measures roughly 15 inches long when completed. The parts are molded in clear plastic, naturally inviting optional lighting with the right kit, and the included decals and markings are aligned with screen accuracy. Notably, the set provides hull markings for both NCC-1701-C and NCC-26510, plus battle damage decals to add a touch of narrative to your build. All of this arrives in packaging designed to protect delicate components and make gifting straightforward.

What’s in the box

• Clear plastic parts designed to accommodate lighting effects when paired with a lighting kit (not included).
• Screen-accurate hull markings for NCC-1701-C and NCC-26510, plus battle damage decals.
• Dome display base and a metal support rod for a stable, dynamic presentation.
• New packaging to safeguard components during storage or gifting.
• Approximately 15" long at 1:1400 scale, ideal for shelf display.

Build and display notes

• Snap assembly with glue optional; paint required for a finished look.
• Skill level 2; suitable for modelers aged 14 and up.
• Clear parts offer lighting potential, enabling soft glows to highlight saucer and nacelles.
• References to the ship’s appearance in Star Trek lore add a touch of authenticity for fans.

The kit’s lineage as a predecessor to the NCC-1701-D—seen in a defining episode—adds a layer of narrative for collectors. While results vary by builder, many enjoy the hands-on process of assembling, painting, and detailing a recognizable Star Trek vessel. The combination of authentic markings, selective battle damage options, and a display-ready base makes this kit a compelling project for a weekend build or a longer, focused session. It’s well suited for fans who appreciate scale accuracy, tactile modeling, and a tangible representation of a beloved starship.

Display and care ideas

With clear parts, lighting can dramatically emphasize the ship’s silhouette and core features. The included dome base and metal rod provide a clean, stable presentation from multiple angles. If you decide to add lighting later, the kit is designed to accommodate that upgrade, allowing you to experiment with glow effects that bring the model to life on a dark shelf. This AMT kit offers a thoughtful balance of challenge and reward, making it a meaningful addition to a collection without promising guaranteed outcomes.
