One of science fictions most memorable pieces of production design, the Klingon Battlecruiser has made an indelible mark on TV audiences since its first appearance on Star Trek in the second season episode: (?), in 1967. Designed by series Art Director Matt Jefferies, this manta-shaped vessel just screams out "here comes the bad guys"!

Atomic City's model kit is an accurate reproduction based on the actual studio miniature. It is cast in resin and will require cyanacrylate glue or epoxy glue, modeling putty, and some moderate experience with assembling resin model kits to successfully put together. The model will also require painting to finish the model and make it resemble what was seen on screen. Painting information is available on the Atomic City web site.

Everything came well packed in paper. There wasn't much extra room in the box!

1 set of water slide decals.

Very large casting for the base in the form of the Klingon Trifoil (1). It looks to be about 15 inches long. Note: All the measurements are approximate as I'm only test fitting the untrimmed parts to get an idea of the various sizes of the assemblies.

All individual parts are carefully wrapped in paper.

The engine nacelles (2). It's about 7 and 1/8 inches long and 2 inches tall overall.

End caps of the nacelles (2). These add another 1 3/4 inches to the overall length of the nacelle.

Nacelle struts (2).

Command pod boom (1) is approximately 10 1/2 inches long.

Brass rod cast into boom for rigidity and allows for wiring the model up for lighting.

Command Pod (1) is hollow cast. The sensor needs a bit of cleaning up. A bit of putty and sanding is all that's needed. The pod is approximately 5 inches long, by 3 1/8 inches wide by about 1 3/4 inches tall.

Command Pod Bridge dome (1).

Engineering hull is cast in (3) parts: Right half, left half, and a center key piece to lock it all together. The hull halves are hollow cast to save on weight and provide room for wiring. The assembled dimensions are about 11 1/4 inches long by 16 inches wide.

Impulse/Hangar deck (1)is one large casting with keys for the intercoolers.

Intercoolers (2) are single piece castings. There's a slight bit of clean up needed where the mold seams are.

Rear bulkhead. Early nomenclature refers to the whole top structure as an impulse engine but later interpretations regard this area as a hangar deck.
