Polar Lights was the model-making arm of the toy company Playing Mantis. It is now part of Racing Champions/ERTL, who also own AMT/Ertl. The company produced scale models of famous vehicles from various TV and movie projects, such as the Ghostbusters ECTO-1 and the Back To The Future Delorean Time Machine. After its acquisition, Polar Lights continued to release new kits on a limited basis, but no new kits are in development.
The company has produced these Star Trek model kits:
- This kit can be built in three versions: the Enterprise seen in "The Cage", that seen in "Where No Man Has Gone Before", and the standard "production version" seen in later episodes. 1/1000 scale.
- Featuring over 200 pieces and clear parts for lighting. 1/350 scale.
- This kit can be built and labeled as either the standard Klingon version or the Romulan version seen in "The Enterprise Incident". 1/1000 scale.
- Star Trek Nemesis Reman Scorpion-class Fighter
- Comes with Jean-Luc Picard and Data figures for the cockpit. 1/33 scale.
- Highly-detailed, featuring a full interior shuttlebay, three small shuttlecraft, TMP-Style Work Bee pod, botanical garden, conference room and VIP lounge. Also includes a large number of clear parts to facilitate lighting of the kit. 1/350 scale.
- Smaller version of the above kit. 1/1000 scale.
All the above kits were snap-together style and featured detailed decal sheets. No glue or paint were included with the kits.
