Customer Reviews: Even though a "Christmas tree ornament" this is a precision modelMarch 25, 2009 James J. Bloom(Silver Spring, MD USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was very pleased when I received this "Christmas tree ornament" in the mail. I like the other Star Trek merchandise produced by Hallmark, but they are rather small scale representations, as is necessary with the huge spacecraft depicted-- often 1,000-2,000 feet long and more. This little gem, scales out at around 1:200 and as such has a lot of detail not available with the replicas of the interstellar voyagers. This little craft in itself is quite interesting. It is a fully interstellar-voyage capable expedition craft, not a mere shuttle from starship to planets or moons that they orbit. As such, the Danube Class was over 75 feet long and could accommodate a crew of four to eight, depending on modular configuration, for sustained missions between Deep Space Nine and nearby galaxies for missions of up to two months or so at speeds comparable to that of the "mother ships". They also had a weapons suite that made them capable of some limited convoy and interdiction missions. The level of detail is quite high and I am glad to say that they are truly scale models, not mere adornments.
