The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) was a Constitution-class heavy cruiser in service during the twenty-third century. In the course of her career, she became the most celebrated Federation Starfleet vessel of that time period. 

In her forty years of service and discovery, through upgrades and at least two refits, she took part in numerous first contacts, military engagements, and time-travels. She achieved her most lasting fame from the five-year mission (2265-2270) under the command of James T. Kirk. 

The Enterprise was destroyed in 2285. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)

The development of Star Trek model kits began shortly after the series did, when, in 1966, AMT acquired the license to produce kits based on the series, and announced their intention to produce a model kit of the USS Enterprise, along with one of the D7 class Klingon battle cruiser. Over the next decade, the line would expand to cover vehicles including the Romulan Bird-of-Prey, a Spock figure kit, and scaled versions of the series' props. 

Originally, AMT chose not to license the Star Trek name outside the US - instead, Aurora, another noted model kit company, leased AMT's molds and released the models themselves. Indeed, the Spock figure kit originated from Aurora, and a reciprocal leasing agreement gave AMT the rights to release the figure in the US before it bought the tooling in its entirety in 1976. 

With the release of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, AMT, now owned by Matchbox, expanded its range to include the newly-refitted Enterprise, the K't'inga-class battle cruiser, and the Vulcan long range shuttle. It would continue to release kits based on the movies following its merger with Ertl. 

AMT/Ertl later gained the licenses to produce kits based on The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, although it lost out on the rights to Voyager kits to Revell-Monogram. AMT/Ertl's original Star Trek range came to an end in 2000. 

In the 1990's and 2000's, several other companies began to produce Star Trek model kits, including GEOmetric, Tsukuda, Polar Lights, and Bandai. 

Following AMT/Ertl's merge with Racing Champions, that company revived the Star Trek line, and began to re-release classic AMT kits in 2005. 

Over the years, a number of unofficial, fan-made model kits (often featuring lesser-known or fan-designed classes) and conversion kits (to adapt officially-released models) have also been produced.
