Available soon to pre-order from Corgi CC96610S Star Trek U.S.S Enterprise NCC-1701 60th Anniversary edition.

As this year marks the 60th Anniversary of Star Trek, and we’ve seen something of a Star Trek range renaissance here at CORGI over recent times, we wanted to mark this occasion with a very special limited edition model release, one which was again allowed to make its public debut at the recent 70 years of making memories event at the Coventry Transport Museum. You could say that this unique model is a shining example of our model association with Star Trek and the U.S.S. Enterprise.

Debuting in 1966, Star Trek has gone on to become a legendary science fiction franchise that spans multiple television series and feature films. This very special die-cast model of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 is a single run Limited Edition to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Original Series.

One of the most iconic science fiction spaceships to appear in popular culture, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 was conceived by Gene Roddenberry and designed by Matt Jefferies with the intention of looking unlike anything seen in the genre until that point. Several models of the ship were built for filming, with the largest 11-foot-long model currently on prominent display in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C.

The legendary fleet flagship of the golden age of interstellar discovery, the Constitution-class U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 was launched in 2245 and served the United Federation of Planets for over forty years, most famously under the command of Captain James T. Kirk.

This very special chrome plated die-cast model is limited to 3000 units worldwide, featuring a premium finish collector box with a silver holographic foil finish. The inner lid is detail is inspired by the dedication plaque found on the Bridge of the Enterprise, and each model comes with a numbered collector card as well as a cotton glove to avoid fingerprints on the model when handling.
