The USS Defiant is the name of two starships in the Star Trek media franchise, most notably featured in the television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993-1999) and the film Star Trek: First Contact (1996). Introduced in Deep Space Nine's third season, it is a warship attached to the show's eponymous space station.

Tough little ship.

Little!

What was the scale of this kit again?
Same as the Oberth, by change?
What happens if you give a Defiant, the secondary hull & pylons, of a Oberth?

[@epycmodels946]

I think it is a 537 scale. With the engines and secondary hull of an Oberth would be interesting

[@rbleisem]

I think the Defiant engines are fine, but if the Oberth ones can be fuse into them...
Then can the Oberth upper hull be used to fill out the underside of the Defiant?
Still, it would give a nice model, I bet.
I always found it a shame, after finding out they where almost the same size, in canon, that they never went with a dis-information move, thus claiming the Defiant was a new type of Oberth sub-class, a scout & science ship, not a warship.
That the extra warpcore, lets her pull a Prometheus long range run......
The general long range mission capabilities, are just bonus, which in the Gamma Quadrant, could be off use.
On the other hand Star Trek Voyager, but with the Defiant and a Obert (that gets wrecked or so), now that could have been fun.
If only because of the odd modifications they are then forced to make, all the time.
Simply because the Defiant is quite short ranged and the max warp speed, is limited.
That it adds to what she can fire on the enemy (nose pod & secondary hull, second warpcore)...
Can even explain what happend to the Oberth upper hull, if in Voyager it's place. 🙂

Polar Light has a Defiant kit and a Oberth & Klingon Bird Of Prey kit, both in 1:1000.
Would that then be of interest?
