Ok. The address is:

Star Tech
P.O. Box 456 
Dunlop, TN 37327

Be warned these kits are vaccu-form kits, and really aren't worth the
price if you ask me (I have the Reliant kit. My all time favorite Trek
ship).

I was wrong about Star Tech being in Texas. Sorry. Also the issues of
FSM which show how to build a BoP are March 1989. It describes how to
build a 1/200 scale version. The December 1990 issue shows how to
build a 1/535 scale version which is in scale to ERTL's Enterprise kit
(kit #6675DO). Good Luck.....
