Eaglemoss Star Trek Picard Ship Replica | Romulan Bird of Prey

This is a great addition to the collection. Nice update to the classic Bird of Prey design. I'm a little baffled by the design of display stand. On most of the Eaglemoss ships, the stand usually displays the ship at a nose-up angle. This one displays the ship in a horizontal, if not very slightly nose-down configuration. It's a shame, because the bird of prey design painted on the bottom is a thing of beauty. Why hide it?

Good quality ship

I have a few of the Eaglemoss Star Trek ships and have found them to be of mixed quality. This Romulan Bird of Prey is pretty good. The paint application is well done, with clean lines and an appropriate amount of aztec pattern on both the top and bottom. I've always been a fan of the Romulan Bird of Prey design, and the version in Star Trek: Picard was mostly an improvement. I wish the buzzard collectors in the warp nacelles had been a clear green, but I understand how it would have been difficult to do that for such small parts of the ship.Two things hold this back from a higher rating. First, the price tag is pretty high for such a small ship. The bird of prey is about as large as some of the ships in Eaglemoss' regular Trek line (about 4 inches at its widest point). On its own, it's a fine size for a ship. I suspect Eaglemoss deliberately made this ship a bit smaller so it would be in scale with other ships from the Picard line. But, the size makes the $55 price tag seem excessive (the regular ships are only about $22). Also, like a lot of Eaglemoss ships, only the top is die-cast metal, while the bottom is plastic. I usually don't care, but at the price point that's less acceptable.Overall, I recommend this ship if you're collecting Eaglemoss' Picard line or really like the bird of prey design - or if you don't mind the price point.

This is a perfect size for collecting. Large enough to show detail, but small enough that it could be easily placed on a shelf next to others. It looks very realistic, and comes with a clear stand that holds it firmly “in flight.” Recommended if you are a fan of the show!

I like the original design.

This model is too small for the model.

I was very happy to see these detailed models and thought they would be a great addition to my Star Trek collection… however, these models are not scaled well… Romulan Bird of Prey (91m long) is larger (by a lot) than Klingon Bird of Prey (B’REL class 139 m long) which is larger yet than the USS Bozeman (243m long). These look ridiculous next to each other. I won’t be keeping these…

Impresionante recreación del "refit" de la clásica ave de presa romulana tal como aparece en la serie. Mi enhorabuena al vendedor.
