It isn't in the release notes for this year, but hope springs eternal. This year's big-scale release is a 1/1000 scale Akira-class. This should bring it in at a tad over 17", which is pretty good when you consider that an Enterprise D or E would be a tad over two feet, if they do any other Next Gen kits in the same scale (Tom Lowe, the owner of Round 2 is pretty big on the Star Trek license. It's one of the first ones he went after when he started Round 2.).
Personaly, if we hear anymore BIG news from the world of STAR TREK modeling I hope it's a confirmation of a 1/1000 scale REFIT U.S.S.ENTERPRISE & a U.S.S. RELIANT!
And this has been confirmed with RC2 too. Like you, this is the kit I've been waiting a very long time for. Rumor has it that Thomas Sasser is doing the prototype for the molds. Given his attention to detail, and his access to Paramount source material, it should be pretty damn close to perfect (unless some compromises have to be made overseas for production purposes).
I cannot wait!

Oh! & MR.Tom Lowe, if your reading these boards I would also like 1/1000 Scale models of the following PLEASE! U.S.S. VOYAGER, U.S.S. DEFIANT, U.S.S. EQUANOX ( with add on parts to make the Rhode Island variant) Thank You.
As soon as the various technical details have been worked out, there'll be an official announcement, but it is being planned.
HOW would you know?
If it is even penciled in for 2010, then whatever it will have is still in the planning stages right now.
That being said, logically there's no reason it shouldn't have a shuttlebay and most likely the Bridge (facing FORWARD
). Beyond that, it depends if they want to get into removable panels and such which, while interesting for display, become problematic from a modeling perspective.

Because he read the unofficial announcements from Round 2 at HobbyTalk like many of us.
BTW, it's not RC2 - RC2 is gone, morphed into a kiddie toys company. Tom Lowe's new company is called "Round 2," and he's reissuing model kits from Polar lights, AMT/Ertl and MPC.
Obviously the 1/350 Refit mentioned in Post #2 is the PL kit from a few years ago (with aztec decals added!), and the 1701-E kit is not new, but a reissue of the Ertl kit.
That's going to be one hell of a set of decals. I'm gonna have to figure out a way to load Solvaset into by airbrush...
Not for me
I have lousey luck with decals. I imagine half the surface of the whole model will end up with silvering.
Great. Now I gotta buy another kit
GOOD thing I did'nt buy it the FIRST time!
I'll just turn my earlier one into a Phase II version.
