8/20/2006 - I've had this conversion kit for quite a long time. It requires a kit of the 1701-D for the saucer, nacelles, nacelle struts and a few incidental parts. The conversion parts are of so-so quality, with some hideous raised detail to match the equally hideous raised detail on the Galaxy model. The details on top of the sensor pod are totally incorrect; it was taken from the battle bridge piece on top of the Galaxy's 2° hull. It's all gotta go - looks like a job for the Dremel.

10/2009 - Sometime in recent history DLM produced a much better Nebula conversion kit, so that's the current plan.

Job 1 on the model is of course, just like on the old AMT Enterprise from TOS, to remove the raised grid lines from the saucer and smooth down the orange-peel texture. Some things never change. They'll need to be removed from the DLM parts too.
