ABOUT THE DESIGN |
ABOUT THE KIT |
| Designed for the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" spin-off series "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," the Federation Runabout was a warp-capable transport that was a good step-and-a-half above the traditional shuttlecraft. Capable of deep space missions and atmospheric operations, the Runabout boasted two side-mounted phasers that allowed it to function as a defensive fighter in the event of military conflict. |
The "Runabout
Rio Grande"
kit was the first "DS9" model released by AMT/Ertl. Good-sized
and acceptably accurate (except for those awful incomplete phaser pieces), the
kit could be built with or without the "roll-bar"-style sensor array as well as
with a variety of names and registration numbers. One big disappointment:
Although the kit featured large forward windows, there was no cockpit, nor was
an interior ever offered by a major aftermarket manufacturer. This model was built from a late-1990's reissue. |
