This variant on the TNG "soapbar" shuttlecraft from TNG's is Probert Designs' first entry into kit production. The detail & fit are good on the simple model, and assembly couldn't be much easier - simply glue the nacelles on.
I'm puzzled by the choice of 1/76 for the scale, rather than a more standard 1/72. I don't think there's much demand for a shuttlecraft model to match OO-scale train layouts. And, I must say, upon opening the box and seeing the pale orange resin body of the shuttle, I got a strange craving for circus peanuts candy.
