Star Trek DS9: Danube Class Runabout (1/70, 33 cm)

Danube class

The Danube-class was a type of runabout spacecraft utilized by Starfleet in the late 24th century. I updated the existing model so the main pieces have dowels to aid in assembly and limit the amount of glue needed. There is accommodations for adding LEDs for the naecelles.

The Danube-class grew out of a series of studies by the Advanced Starship Design Bureau which began in 2363 to create a small versatile vessel for use in a wide range of missions. The final design for the Danube-class conducted flight tests which were so successful the class went into immediate production, with the first ships of the class entering service in 2368. The first batch of Danube-class ships were assigned as support craft to Deep Space 9 where they, and later replacements, served with distinction for many notable missions. (ST reference: Starship Spotter)

The Utopia Planitia Yards served as the primary Danube-class construction facility with three other sites set up to continue production of the class and spare parts for existing vessels after the first production run at Utopia Planitia. By the late 2370s the Advanced Starship Design Bureau was developing successors for the class while Starfleet continued to build more of this very successful class. 

Enjoy!
