    I've seen kits for the photon torpedo launch tubes, so I kinda' expected that feature. But I've never seen a setup to simulate the main phaser banks. That one took me by surprise! What's actually happening there? Is the "bank" and "emitters" somewhat translucent, allowing an LED arrangement within the hull to "bleed" light through the plastic? It's obvious there's at least two lighting elements given that "oscillation" between the two "barrels".

    I swear you continue to knock me outa' my chair with all the features you've crammed into this model! When I was a kid, mid teens, I remember the kits designed by Paul M. Newitt that would illuminate the original 18 inch AMT kit. At the time, that was "bleeding edge" technology. But compared to what's featured here, that 1970s after market upgrade system might as well have used vacuum tubes or "bone knives and bear skins"!

    I've often wanted to take a good model like this up in a reduced gravity airplane flight:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced-gravity_aircraft

    Green Screen the walls, and have the plane speed up. The result is that the model has no mounts--and seems to accelerate.

    If inside a sacrificial glider--you could explode a model in true weightless conditions.
