Issue #12 of Eaglemoss’s Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection features the USS Thunderchild NCC‑63549, a heavily armed Akira-class starship first introduced in Star Trek: First Contact. Designed for tactical operations, the Akira-class is known for its unique twin-hull configuration, recessed saucer section, and external launch bays—making it a standout in 24th-century Starfleet design.
This detailed die-cast and ABS plastic model captures the Thunderchild’s sleek, combat-ready profile, complete with screen-accurate paint applications and molded surface details. The ship rests on a custom display base and is packaged with a 20-page collector’s magazine that explores its design history, production artwork, and appearances across the Star Trek universe.
