Star Fleet Assembly Manual

The Star Fleet Assembly Manual was a series of three manuals, written by Paul M. Newitt, to assemble AMT plastic models of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) and a Klingon battle cruiser.

The first volume was published in 1977 and focused on the Enterprise model; the second, published in 1978, focused on the Klingon shop; and the third (also 1978) consisted of instructions on making the Enterprise a lighted model.

In addition to instructions on assembly and painting of the models, there was also in-universe fanon about the San Francisco Fleet Yards.
