Hull main color is the same as the classic Enterprise; the Aztec is a mixture of light grey and green and was painted on to the hull by hand (Initially the Aztec was not as pronounced as it is now, the color got darker as I applied a clear coat later). Some dark grey was used to increase the level of detail. Lighting the kit was quite simple. One problem however: I got carried a way a little with those fibres, because off the two fibre sets included and suddenly there where not enough left to light the saucer top appropriately to the rest of the ship. So there are no fibres on the top of the saucer. I still like that model very much and since the reminiscences of painting thousands of little tiny windows still lingers on... I'm not going to build her again any time soon!
