7.4-Inch Defiant Class NX-74205 Defiant

The 7.4-inch (19 cm) USS Defiant NX-74205 model is a physical Star Trek: Deep Space Nine display ship, 3D printed in multi-colour PLA. Choose fully coloured or glow-in-the-dark, pre-assembled or DIY kit.

Pre-Assembled or DIY Kit? Identical parts at the same price. Pre-Assembled arrives built and ready to display; the DIY Kit ships as printed parts for you to put together. No glue included.

Fully colored or Glow in the dark? Fully colored is the screen-accurate scheme. Glow in the dark uses phosphorescent filament on the hull so the ship reads as a silhouette in a dark room after it has been under light — it is a different look, not an add-on.

Choosing a size: at 19 cm this is a desk piece. The larger 9.6-Inch Defiant Class NX-74205 Defiant (Large) at 25 cm is the shelf version.

Questions

Is this a physical model or a digital file?
This is a physical 3D-printed PLA display model. No STL or digital download is included.

How big is it?
19 cm / 7.4 inches. It sits on a desk or in a cabinet.

Is the detail good at this size?
The Defiant is a compact, hard-edged hull, so it holds up well small — better than a saucer-and-nacelles design would.

Assembled or kit?
Same parts and price; the kit ships unassembled.

Is it coloured?
Yes. The colour is printed into the model using multi-colour 3D printing — each colour is laid down in place as it prints, not painted on afterwards, so it cannot chip or flake.

Is there a larger one?
Yes, 9.6 inch (25 cm).

How it's made

Printed in multi-colour PLA at a fine layer height, then hand-assembled and sanded back where needed. The colours are printed into the material rather than painted on, so hull pennants, registry numbers and aztec panelling cannot chip or flake. Made and finished in Sydney, Australia.

An honest note: this is FDM printing. Fine layer lines are visible up close — that is how the process works, not a defect. At normal display distance they disappear.

Fan-made display model. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the rights holders of Star Trek.
