Now that would be worth waiting for.  How about a kit of the Delta Flyer to
go with it???

Or Chakotay's(sp) ship???

In addition, I'd ask for that shuttle that was used before the Delta Flyer, or
the smaller Shuttle Pod used in TNG, or the Shuttle used in Enterprise.
Any in a reasonable scale, say 1:32 or 1:24.

Are you referring to the so-called "boat-tail" Shuttle? I think someone
 made a resin version, but I can't recall who at the moment...

There was a "Maquis Ship" (#3605) released by Monogram at the same time
as their "Voyager". You can probably still find it on e(vil)Bay. (And
all it will probably cost you is some big $$$...and your soul... };-)> )

Actually they made three different versions
1) the one you're talking about in maybe 1:72 scale, generally pretty big
2) one in a the-kit presentation with the Voyager and the Kazon Attack Ship
3) an itty-bitty pre-painted one with about ten pieces, similar to a
Furuta-type vending machine model. I found a bunch of those Furutas on eBay,
including some Star Trek ships that otherwise had never been made as kits, and
in usable scale as well.

The only one of those that I ever saw was a MicroMachine version about an inch
and a half long.

Monogram had a series of three ships out after the show came on that
included the Voyager, the maquis ship and one of the K____? ships.
IIRC, the Maquis ship was only in the 2 hour pilot.
I still have Voyager episodes I haven't watched.  That's how exciting
that show was by the end.

They made at least 2 Maquis ships (Chakotay's). Monogram made Voyager, Maquis
and the Kazon ships in full size then sold a 3-pack set of all three that were
about 1/2 the size of the original. They then did somthing called the Kazon
Torpedo in about 1/35 scale (assault landing ship).

Then they did these tiny pre-painted kits that came in a box the size of a deck
of cards. I know the did the Kazon raider and Voyager, unsure if the Maquis
ship was part of this set.

The Monogram Trek kits were decent, better than the Ertl kits made at the same
time.

I do as well, but it was because the local Fox affiliate showed it at 11:00PM
Thursday nights. As I had to work the next day, about three seasons got taped
but never watched yet.
I'm still going through my DS9 collection (same reason, Wednesday nights).
When asked, the station manager claimed that "no one wanted to watch that s__t
anyway". Seems that folks would have rather watched two episodes of "The Fresh
Prince" back-to-back instead.
