Resin Kit Review: Cozmo Heavy Industries 1:2500 De.Recognizing her weak offensive capabilities, Triple-D outfitted her with two forward facing, and one rear facing phaser turret. They inducted her into their cargo fleet where she now serves her purpose again as a high speed courier. Years later, the Triple-D Corporation salvaged the SS Hermes hull and fitted her with a Klingon warp core and nacelles. She was deemed too expensive to repair and was decommissioned to a scrap yard, where her nacelles and warp core were cannibalized. The SS Hermes was one such vessel that did serve during the Dominion War and near the end of that war, was severely damaged during a black-ops mission.

During the Dominion war, these types of ships were even seconded into use as special operations delivery vessels. The need to transport specialist personnel such as diplomatic envoys and engineering specialists was very high and this sub-class of Oberth vessel served those purposes well. The SS Hermes started her life as a Clarke Sub-Class Rapid Transit Long Range Courier. Here are some pictures of that ship for the sake of grouping all the Oberth builds together under one post.

I always liked that name and it kind of fits. The Three Sisters fleet name is a tribute to my ex-cousin in-law’s now defunct brand of hot sauce. The kit itself comes with enough parts to build a traditional Oberth as well as a Hospital ship variant.

I was fortunate to be the first one to buy this kit from him. When he finally produced the kit and put it out on eBay, I figured I’d try building some variants. When he advertised that he was working on a resin kit of this class, I followed along and even threw in my two cents on how a torpedo launcher for the ship would be a cool addition. However, I am a big fan of Jay’s work over at Cozmo Heavy Industries and follow him on his FaceBook page. And quite frankly, 1:2500 scale versions of these ships are rather small for my collecting tastes. As I stated early on, I was not a fan of the Oberth Class starships.
