A work in progress, the primary hull of a Confederation Class starship. The kit was designed and mastered by my friend April in Hilo, Hawaii and I had the pleasure of working with her on designing the instructions and decal sheet.

Here is a profile of the Confederation class. The drawing was for approval of the blue pennant decal art placement, but the kit has red pennants as well.

Ohoho!! I really like that!

When you refer to that as a 'kit', do you mean to say that it's going to be series produced?

'Cos that would be cool... :D

It was a kit, available through the starship modeler store, but I am not seeing it on their inventory. Not sure what the status of production is now, but I can contact Jimi and find out.
