Probably a bad batch. I have a collection of 1/3788 Enterprises, from
FASA, Gamescience, Starline 2300, and Galoob.
The Galoob one is, against all expectations, the best of them. Which
surprised the heck out of me. The FASA "Reliant" model is about 3%
smaller than the Galoob one, but the detail is similar. Galoob paint job
of light blue HAS to go, but the lower price and increased durability
makes up for it.
