One can only hope, lol. Problem is what do they for an A version...................?

Just our luck, the only thing to survive will be the warp engins, the rest of the ship will be built around it and called the Enterprise A, as in Alternate universe!
But I really want this model. I actually like the design, and since I have no room for the new 1/350 TOS enterprise :cry I have to build SOMETHING!
I am determined to make it pretty!

I highly doubt it'll be completely destroyed. My bet is on heavily damaged resulting in a refit. Their response to the generally poor reaction to this version of the Enterprise. It'll probably get a few cosmetic touch-ups one of which will be the nacelles.
Still though, for the completist this is a must have kit!

Not cool! Now you HAVE to spoil! :lol
Well it's not a that major a spoiler but those wanting to avoid them all look away.
In the comic and from stuff leaked from a press preview mentioned Robert April and his Enterprise.
In the old continuity the TOS Enterprise was built in the 2240's and April was the first captain. But the JJ Enterprise was built in 2255 and Pike was the captain.
Making the tenuous assumption that they are sticking to the timeline, the JJ Enterprise is the second one in that universe.
So if they show the eariler one chances are good it will be a lot closer to the TOS one.
At least that's my theory.

It actually seems to be a very common opinion. Although I agree. I *LOVE* the D.

I am fond of the D, if no other reason was that it held the crew and brought Star Trek back on the air after a 21 year hiatus!
The only thing that ever niggled at me was the warp engines. They bothered me being below the saucer section and looked too small to push the ship.

I like the ship and if it is around the size of the 22" Enterprise or bigger I will get at least 2!!
I keep seeing pics of a new Reliant, is it in the new movie?

I'm sorry, did I stutter?
Seriously, my comment was a follow-up to a couple of previous posts, but it still stands for itself (though I'm willing to admit my use of the term "fugliest" might have been a wee bit of an overstatement). To me there's a lack of aesthetic balance between the oversized primary hull and the stubby warp engines. This is only my opinion, nothing more, and I am in no way attempting to convince anyone that my tastes are superior to theirs or that they should dislike the design as I do. A lot of fans like the design, and I can understand why, but I'm not one of them; simple as that.
Strangely, I do like the Nebula Class starships from the TNG era, which are essentially a reconfigured version of the Galaxy Class ships (except, of course, for the weapons pod suspended above and aft of the primary hull). But even though I like that design, I don't think it's suitable for the flagship of the fleet.

It says it's 588mm which is just under 24" so it will be a good size.
I will pick up at least 2 at that size!!
