I'm researching that online, also need something to go behind the Enterprise:
But this is the Enterprise I'd love to have
:I think the co-founder of Microsoft bought the original miniature, used up to ST6.

That would be a real show stopper, fitted with ducted fans, or go the whole hog a proper turbine.

Anyone else made the recently released Airfix 1.35 scale Austin K2 / Y ambulance - ? 
Well moulded model with plenty of good detail much improved on Airfix's early days and I bought an after market set of folded blankets, medic's bags etc. for extra detail.
The only problem seems to be the feeble hinges for the back doors. If you want the doors partly open, you're relying on two tiny hinge gluing points for each door which won't stand up to any knocking at all before they'd fall off. So unless your K2 is strictly for display only with absolutely no handling, you're stuck with a doors fully open or fully closed option which seems a bit of an oversight.
I've gone for one open and one closed so at least the inside detail can be seen - !

You think you can get away with telling us and then not posting pictures?

Just received this from my son wants me to make it for him. It’s well over 20 years since he received it as a present from his brother and it’s something I have never attempted yet so I’ll let you know how it goes.
