Galaxy-Class Rear Formation Light Insert
1/1400 Scale Upgrade for the USS Enterprise-D (AMT Kit)
Bring your 1/1400 scale Enterprise-D one step closer to screen accuracy.
The original AMT kit leaves out a subtle but highly visible detail: the four rear formation (running) lights located just aft of the torpedo launcher on the secondary hull.
This single-piece 3D-printed insert is designed to correct that.
What This Upgrade Does
✔ Adds the four aft formation lights
✔ Corrects an overlooked studio detail
✔ Designed for fiber optic lighting (0.5mm recommended)
✔ Clean, symmetrical placement for accurate alignment
✔ Integrates into the lower secondary hull
When illuminated, this small detail adds a surprising amount of realism — especially on a fully lit build.
Designed For Serious Builders
This upgrade is intended for intermediate to advanced modelers comfortable with:
-
Marking and removing a section of the kit hull
-
Undercutting and test-fitting parts
-
Restoring lost grid lines if necessary
-
Installing fiber optics for lighting
Dry-fit before final installation — especially if integrating into a lighting plan.
This insert was designed around the original AMT 1/1400 Enterprise-D tooling. Some adjustment may be required for reissues or modified hulls.
Why It Matters
On a model this iconic, it’s the small details that elevate the build.
The four aft formation lights are visible in filming miniatures and on-screen references — but absent from the base kit. This insert allows you to bring that missing detail back where it belongs.
Subtle. Accurate. Intentional.
Product Includes
• (1) 3D-printed Galaxy-Class Rear Formation Light Insert
• Designed for 0.5mm fiber optic installation
Kit, lighting materials, and fiber optics not included.
If you're building the Enterprise-D with lighting, this is one of those upgrades that separates a good build from a great one.
Precision matters.
And the Enterprise deserves it.
