One of the lesser sesn ships of Star Trek, the shuttle appears on screen for maybe as much as twenty seconds in ST;TMP and is never seen again!
Why was the model ever produced? Basically because AMT wanted as large a ST model line as possible back when the original cast films were released. Back then the only ships with screen time were the Enterprise, the Klingon Battlecruiser and the shuttle, until the Reliant and Excelsior appeared in II and III.
What you basically get here is a retread of the original 1979 kit, which has some new tooling. That makes it better than the original, plus the decals are modern rather than the originals which were rub-on or stickers. It's a pretty nice medium sized model, which benefits from a stand.
As to the price AMT have set, that's just too high. It's a simple kit which were it not in the ST range would cost far less. That said, for those who enjoy ST models, this kit is fine as it is. But if I were to compare it to other ST re-releases, I'd recommend the others of a similar price before this. I mean, you can buy an Enterprise -E for five pounds more.
