Man, I have that. And some other ST: TNG Playmates skips. And all the crew with some additional figures.
As terrific a model it was, it was all there really was back then for the price and not having to build it yourself, so you had to overlook the flaws of that ship and others (the Romulan warbird, for example, has NO windows -- but you can see a shit-ton of little yellow circle windows on the beak in the series).
Flaws included: inaccurate or missing details, no light-blocking housing inside the warp nacelles so the whole thing doesn't light up like a futuristic dildo, a saucer section that didn't detach (not that I minded that), and many things simply not even painted at all.
I had to paint the ship like crazy to gets it to a passable level compared to the on-screen model. I used black and light blue paint for the windows to try and match the darkened and lit windows on the ship, from photos and video (which lead to the discovery of inaccurate and missing windows). I had to paint the deflector dish so it looked bright red and blue like on television; the deflector was orange when the ship was powered off. I had to paint all the escape pods, the shuttle bay doors, add little red and green dots for blinking lights which were left off, and more. Not as frustrating as adding little yellow dots for the Romulan warbird, mind you.
