[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Robert: [qb] Very interesting! So, an ERTL thin-saucer model actually did make a studio appearance! I guess this means we modelers don't absolutely have to buy all of the correction kits now to thicken the ERTL hull, depending upon the ship we're building, although they do make the model look a lot nicer! If the saucer looks flatter its probably because we're used to seeing the Reliant/miranda with the a thicker hull, while the ERTL kit has a thinner hull; it should be 2-4 milimeters thicker to match the studio model. Its probably more of an optical or mental illusion based on what we are accustomed to seeing. Federation Models makes a correction set. I'm in the middle of using it a we speak. I wonder what other ERTL models besides the odd Excelsior and the DS9 freak ships were also on-screen, and what their names and registries were? Robert [/qb][/QUOTE]There are a few old kits used in STII for long-distance shots where they did not have a wharehouse to pull away from the studio model. (talking the Enterprise here, not Reliant).
