But here you can see the coverage and excellence of the decals that came with the AMT kit. Any errors in alignment are mine. The only thing that isn't a decal so far is the NATO black phaser bank, and as you can see, it needs some touch-up too. Oh, and the red and the yellow on the warp nacelles.
The kit looks very toy-like and simple as built, but the decals completely transform it. While I don't think the decals are as good as the ones in the AMT 3-Enterprises set, they're still pretty good, and one thing is for certain - when you get done applying all these decals, you'll be a whiz at decaling.
Note the Enterprise-C nacelles off to the side - though the decals are harsh and unforgiving, they can be made to work if you're patient.

What was the base color you used?
It was Testors Camouflage Grey from a spray can; I picked it mainly because it was light enough that the Aztec pattern would be visible, but not so light that the Aztec pattern would look like a checkerboard.
I was going to use light gull grey but it was so close to the colors in the decal.
Camouflage grey is the way to go. It looks great. Thanks
I just bought the reissue of the USS Reliant today and note that they suggest light gull grey in the instructions, but I think I'm going to use camouflage grey again; I think that color is growing on me.
