Custom Star Trek Model Instructions | Akira Class Starship


"We've just received word from the fleet. They've engaged the Borg." - Jean-Luc Picard


The Akira class made its on-screen debut in Star Trek: First Contact with the USS Thunderchild NCC-63549, going on to feature in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Lower Decks, and Star Trek: Prodigy. Created as a response to the Borg threat, the Akira class' unique design made it a standout during the Battle of Sector 001.


This detailed model made for LEGO bricks was created to the exact specs of the real thing. It accurately captures the Thunderchild's unique forward posture, tucked-in shuttle bay, and connected nacelle structure.
