A couple of days ago, James Helman (of NAR Facebook group fame) mentioned that he would like to build an old Estes Klingon Battle Cruiser. This simple statement resulted in a thread that covered where to get one, how well they fly, how hard the build is, etc....
In the thread, I posted this:
Which is my bird soaring into the blue Texas sky! I thought today I'd share a few more...
 |
| A top- down view. The lines on this model make it very distinctive! |
 |
| What you don't want to see in your rear view mirror if you happen to be named "Kirk!" |
 |
| The power plant bay... I love the angles of the wings and engine pods! |
 |
| The belly of the beast! |
I also remembered that I happen to have a bagged original release example! Here you go!
 |
| The front. Interestingly, the pictures of Kirk and Spock are the same as on the Star Trek Starter Rocket. |
 |
| Unbuilt bits and pieces. This is a fun build, but it can be fairly challenging. |
So there you have it! If you haven't built one of these, I highly recommend it! You can find boxed examples of the anniversary edition on eBay for around 30 bucks. I say go for it!
Until next time, fly 'em fast and high!
