Well I bought 1701 Enterprise kit, I already have a Enterprise D and E. one thing I always wanted to do is to put lights in one so hopefully this kit is big enough to put lights in it. ;D hopefully it will turn up this coming week. But might not fully start it until next month.

Not seen it yet, watched all the trailers. The model is 1:500 scale I think I read on one site it's about 60cm long. On most sites it says suitable for lighting.

What's this Andy...a size limit??...now,that has me worried as I've ordered the Backmann 'Ash Plant' from 'Hattons'...that'll be a big parcel, hopefully not 'that' big..do you know 'officially' what size limit that they are 'imposing???'..not good,a total crap idea...I'm not liking that one bit,and with a falling dollar, we might not be buying stuff as regular, but that doesn't mean I'll suddenly be buying from EBay or Aussie sellers,is it the end???............Dave

I don't know all the e-mail said was " parcel was sent back to warehouse due to size restrictions, Royal Mail have started to impose, which we were unaware at time of posting. I know royal have been making changes such as price going up quite a bit from what I've read.

A quick google there is a gov e- petition about basically all dimension must be add up to less than 900mm so length + width + height and must be bigger than 140 x 90 and under 2kg else you should use parcel force.
