Klingon battle cruiser kit

Designed and built in the USA

        Bringing your Star Ship the most Life like effects available ANYWHERE.


Starling is excited to introduce to you our Next generation of E/FX™ boards,
Legion Force, which is compatible with our new Stereo Soundboards.


    Introducing our all new E/FX™ Plug-n-play light and sound kit for the Polar lights 1/350 POL950M/06 K'T'inga.
   I am so excited about this release, our light and Stereo sound effects for the
infamous Battle Cruiser mimics the beginning scene in
“Star Trek the Motion picture” with awesome lights and sounds!!

   This massive kit features lighting with background audio and the Klingon
captain giving the commands to attack V'ger for this intense scene found
in the movie.

Board features circuits for startup sequence of all steady light, nav,
impulse engines, and warp nacelles. Blinking Nav circuit is accurately
timed to the movie.
Forward and Aft Torpedoes are accurately timed to the movie.
Kit contains 32 LEDs in all, controlled by 2x buttons.

Two modes of operation are provided:
  • Interactive mode
  • Shut-Off mode


  • Button 1 fires forward torpedo and starts demo mode with music.
  • Button 2 fires aft torpedo, and switches to Shut-off mode.
    During shut-off mode, either button will restart up the system.
   All connections made via 2-pin, 5-pin, and 8-pin header block using JST
connectors.

   Powered by 9volt power supply either by battery or by a DC wall power
supply adapter. This setup makes your model very portable.
You may use 1 or 2x 9v batteries, 2 are not required but offer longer run time
especially when using the Radio control option.

Optional Radio Control activation available.

HD Video
Camera makes lighting look brighter and off color than how it actually looks.
This video has been updated to demonstrate Stephen Burns torpedo tubes and nacelle grills and other alterations to the kit
from our original release.

If you were wondering if the lighting kit will work with the
Para Grafix Photo Etch torpedo tubes, then here is your answer:)
And better yet, you don't need to use 18LEDs to light them, our kit
uses a custom LED to light each tube brightly :)









P-N-P kit below.
Stephen Burns nacelle Grills and Torpedo tubes are not included in our lighting kits. Links on this page will guide you to his page.

The Plug-N-Play kit makes for a faster build with no soldering or electronics skills required. After reading Pin assignment for connections in the manual, you may completely test this kit right out of the box after installing a battery.


WARNING : The Legion board has both 5v and 9v connections. Failure to read the manual for proper light and sound connections could destroy certain LEDs.
Plugging the sound board into a 9v connection will destroy it requiring the purchase of a new sound board.


Choose whether you want the klingon Captain's
voice, as heard in the video, or not :)

NOTE: This sound option can not be changed once order is placed.
