Here is the AMT/ERTL "Klingon Bird of Prey" model kit that I believe was issued in 1993-1995?
I bought and built it as soon as it hit the shelves. I had long awaited a release of this striking design.
Since I din't know anything about lighting a model, I painted the inside of the clear parts (Photon Launcher, and engine) with fluorescent paints so they re-act, and appear to light up when under a black light.
A fun build, I assembled it straight out of the box, I didn't remove any detail or add any. I sprayed the entire model in flat black, and then painted and dry-brushed the colors over it.
For the "Feather Panels" on the underside of the wings, I used a couple shades of red, and different amounts of coats to vary their appearance. Although these pictures don't really capture that.
On the top of the ship, I painted the "Feather panels" in a few different shades of green/olive.
