I’ve misspent a lot of time in my youth sketching the Bird of Prey from various movie stills and FASA books and the like, so I consider myself intimately familiar with the design, and this model does it proud. Hell, it’s easy to get lost in the intricate panels of the wings alone. There’s pipes and vents and all kinds of windows. There isn’t a square inch of this thing that doesn’t have some kind of sculpted detail. I always used to think the Playmates version looked good enough (well, at least until I looked at it recently), but damn this thing looks phenomenal. The stand does have to be fitted together, but it can easily be taken apart and the whole shebang can be returned to the box for storage.

Anyway, it took me a while to get all the twisty wires off the ship and free it from its tray, but I’m very happy that the ship comes in one piece and doesn’t need to be assembled. Oddly is proclaims that the BoP was equipped with photon torpedoes, disrupters and… phasers? It’s been a long time since my days of pouring over the stats in FASA Star Trek ship catalogs, but I’m pretty sure I never saw mention of a phaser bank equipped on a Bird of Prey, but I’m guessing that occurred sometime in the Next Gen era. There’s a decent blurb about the Bird of Prey on the back, which correctly points out that the configuration of this ship was applied to various classes from small scouts to larger warships. The box’s deco is a blue cloudy-star motif, which doesn’t really fit Star Trek for me, and I would have much preferred the movie font over the old classic font because it just better fits the context of this ship. It’s a freaking massive window box, but with a wingspan of about 19-inches, the box housing this ship has to be big! The front of the package has a kind of weird trident design cut out to show you some of the detail on the ship’s hull. There are things I like about it and things I don’t.
Word is that Diamond has revamped the packaging for this year’s releases, but seeing as I don’t own any of the past releases, I have no frame of reference. What’s the difference? Christopher Plummer’s goddamn voice, that’s what. This particular release, however, is based on the ship’s appearance in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. With an average build time of two hours, the Bird of Prey will make a great project to build solo or with family and friends of all ages.This now iconic ship design was first introduced in Star Trek III, it practically starred in Star Trek IV, and it subsequently appeared in every “Original Crew” movie produced since, including Generations. The Klingon Bird of Prey joins a PuzzleFleet consisting of eight ships (sold separately), and more to come. The Bird of Prey also comes with a stand and dedication plaque, ready for display.
