4. Opsætning (samling)
The Bandai USS Enterprise NCC-1701 model kit features a snap-together design, minimizing the need for adhesives. However, some areas may benefit from careful application of model glue or putty to ensure a secure fit and seamless appearance. Follow the numbered steps in the included assembly diagrams.
4.1. Main Hull Assembly
Begin by assembling the primary saucer section and the engineering hull. Ensure all connection points align correctly. Apply gentle, even pressure for snap-fit components. If gaps are present, minor sanding or putty application may be required for a smooth finish.

4.2. Warp Nacelle Integration
Attach the warp nacelles to their respective pylons. Pay close attention to the orientation. Some builders have noted that these sections may require additional care to achieve a flush fit. Ensure all internal wiring for the nacelle lighting is routed correctly before securing the parts.
4.3. Wiring for Lighting Features
This is the most intricate part of the assembly. The kit includes wiring for internal illumination. Carefully follow the wiring diagrams provided in your kit. Wires are delicate; avoid excessive pulling or bending. It is recommended to test connections periodically during this stage. Do not cut wires to length prematurely; trim only when absolutely necessary and after confirming the correct routing and connection points. Solder connections, if required, should be minimal to avoid obstructing part fitment.

5. Operating (Lighting Features)
Once assembly is complete and all wiring is securely connected, the model's lighting features can be activated. Connect the model to its designated power source (e.g., battery pack or AC adapter, if included or purchased separately). The lights will illuminate the various sections of the ship, including windows and warp nacelles. Note that the intensity of the lighting may vary and might appear dim in brightly lit environments.
6. Vedligeholdelse
6.1. Rensning
To maintain the appearance of your model, gently dust it regularly with a soft, dry brush or a microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the pre-painted surfaces and decals.
6.2. Opbevaring
Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation or paint fading. If possible, display it in a dust-proof case.
