The U.S.S. Excalibur Gallery


The kit behind the Excalibur is the first Enterprise kit I ever bought, back when the kit first came out in the 60s. It adorned my dresser for a while, but eventually that first kit turned out the way most kits turned out when you were in 6th or 7th grade. The nacelles broke off (remember that old block & stirrup attachment design?), the decals withered, and so on. Some of the damage to the Excalibur ended up where it did because the nav deflector housing and one intercooler had gone missing. The two half-intercoolers on the damaged nacelle used to be a whole one. Recently, while digging through some old boxes, I found a real prize of sorts.
