The rest of the engines have the stripes of the Starfleet pennant top and bottom plus the full item on the sides including more ship registries. Now on mine, the starboard collector wasn't attached firmly and just came away from its slot so I'm not hugely thrilled it's another minor repair job. Angled from front to back as though heading out to a distant vanishing point, the front section is capped with a translucent bussard collector. The warp engines themselves attach at two points to the unique double pylon concept and also feature a very unusual design. It does feel that the design has some space to breathe here after the onslaught of colour and intricate decalling of the saucer. The lower pylon is perhaps a tad more interesting with a central slit cut into the metal drawing your eye to the black edging of the upper arm. The crossbar upper pylon is detail heavy with further contrast panelling as well as ship registry and red striping, both of which are placed perfectly. The pylons again continue the black/white Online colour scheme and a slight angle adjustment means that the engines sit just a fraction above the primary hull. They don't run parallel to each other with the lower sweeping back while the top arm runs straight across. The more distinctive feature than its primary hull though are the split pylons connecting the main body to the pair of warp engines. It’s simple and effectively painted on but raises your awareness of the very average decalling particularly when it comes to the ‘slipped’ markings indicating the ends of the dorsal phaser arrays. The paintwork is very Online, taking the choice to head for the sharply contrasting white and black blocking.
It’s a more curved pattern, weaving across the deck symmetrically along the dorsal centre line of the hull. Take a look firstly at the circular primary hull with its detailed panelling - there’s a lot of it and in comparison to the TV shows, this ship doesn’t carry those ramrod straight lines emanating from the bridge module out to the edge. That accuracy is continued here, beginning with NCC-97930.
