Does this ship fit together better than the USS Defiant? I’ve tried it (Defiant) multiple times and it will never go together. Pieces are either too big or too small, thus a poor fit and sometimes even no fit at all.
The Rubicon was made the same way as the Defiant, so the fit is really the same (the Rubicon is very big, though!)
Although I always build my own models (that’s the main reason why I make them ;o) so everything should fit together within tolerance, the parts were drawn by hand so not everything will likely be absolutely perfect: don’t hesitate to work with the parts a bit to make them fit if you’re not happy with it!
Like the Defiant, there’s a redraw version available (and Paul McCool is making another one: ) but they are based on my original files, so I don’t know if you would have the same fit problems as with the original model…? And unfortunately, I don’t know if anybody else made their own Star Trek runabout? (search around a bit though, because I could be wrong of course! ;o)
