Review: POLAR LIGHTS 1/1000 DEFIANT - ONE OF THE BEST-ENGINEERED STAR TREK MODEL KITS! - Polar Lights' 1/1000 Defiant (Star Trek Deep Space Nine) is a very nice little kit that is easy to build and exceptionally well engineered. Parts snap together without glue for the younger modeler or more time can be taken by the more skilled modeler. The model has clear parts and lighting could be added by the advanced modeler. The kit's parts fit well and little or no putty work will be required since there are no sinkholes or ejector pin marks visible. Decals include panel detailing so the modeler who wishes to do little or no painting can achieve a fairly realistic-looking model without a whole lot of effort. The model comes with Polar Lights' dome-stand so will make a nice desk-display. This is likely the best of the 1/1000 Star Trek kits done by Polar Lights; it was just really well-done. Highly recommended!
Review: Easy to assemble - I just got back into model building, and I decided to get this one because I missed building model star ships. This one is a very quick build, great for a first kit, but detailed enough to look good for display. No paint required but if you are good at painting you can make it a very good looking model. I am not so great at painting but I am working on it, so to that end I decided to do mine up with WWII style D-Day stripes and tiger teeth. It was all freehand so not the best paint job. Again, none required for this model, just me being silly. 5 stars, Model is as advertised, at no point was there any frustration about parts not fitting, or breaking, or other stupid stuff, a good quality beginner model kit. Only thing I would note is the clear plastic parts for engines are clear and not color tinted, thin layer of paint on the interior side will make it look decent, if you are inclined you could rig it up with LED lights pretty easy too.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can someone who's assembled this post some photos of the finished model? It'd be nice if a ruler could be included or something to show the size too.**
A: The description above say's it's 6.7 x 3 x 3 inches.

**Q: Does this require painting?**
A: "require"?... No, but I would recommend it.  The molded color of light blue is much to dark.  A very light gray is more appropriate.  If you try to apply the waterslide decals over the bare plastic, they are likely to not adhere.  Also, since the molded color is darker than it should be, not all the decals will contrast enough to be easily seen.  Color of the plastic aside, this is a very nice kit that fits together very well.

**Q: Does this come with some kind of stand?**
A: Yes it comes with the dome stand

**Q: I'm guessing this is a pretty small kit?**
A: Defiant was a small ship but like capt Ben Sisko say she small but she have teeth

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good kit, but fit was a bit tight in places
*by G***U on October 5, 2024*

Not too difficult to light up but a photo etched detail set made the nacelles a bit cramped. The fit was a bit tight in places so some puttying was necessary. Decals look good.
