Description
See, if I have the time, I can build them more quickly...Introducing the 'proper' Phase II Constitution, with the curvy, intermediate-design secondary hull. Most of the parts came from my previous version of the Phase II Connie, and I accept them both as existing variants of the same class.
As usual, I will release this baby too, along with the Larson...
Model by me

Ooooohh... cool; I just realized you had rendered these. Β It's amazing to see a proper Phase II because it so beautifully straddles the original ship design to it's later refit we didn't see until the movies. Β Most folks never realize this stage existed before that transition.

if this was canon. I would say that this was an intermediate refit before the TMP refit

Indeed. Probably during the last two years of the legendary Five-Year Mission.

but in all respects, it's a "missing link" between the tos design and tmp designs

So, this is the original Matt Jeffries Enterprise for STP2 prior to the adjustments made for TPM? Neat.

As always, you are welcome.

Love it. I enjoy pretty much anything Phase 2 related, especially the enterprise. It's a solid bridge between the show and the motion pictures.

Yeahh. Luckily, I had good ref images.

Maybe is there a model kit for this one?, i am not fond of pre tmp designs but the history of the Constitution has always wondered me

I think some people managed to kitbash TOS and TMP model kits of the Enterprise to build the Phase II version...

I once saw a kit "bundle" that has the Constitution in pre TOS, TOS, TMP and post TMP variants or something, but it was WAY expensive

Too bad no models were made of this beauty.

One half-completed model was made.

No I mean AMT, Polar Lights models. I know they made a studio model or half a model.

Get this: After her refit, the Enterprise gained 20,000 metric tons!

Kirk did the same thing

Nice! Great work--I will have to start watching your gallery.

Just be careful of Khan flying around in a phase II USS Reliant.

Beautiful ship and top rate modelling.
I have seen two distinct designs when it comes to the nacelle caps/bussard collectors. The first is as you have done, the other is closer in design to the TMP nacelle style. By any chance are you planning on doing the other design as well to have all variants?

As I have seen on the original production diagrams, this is the "real" version, so I stick to this one.

Fair enough, I just prefer the other nacelles better myself. Still great work mate. Top stuff!

So to make sure I understand properly, this is a wort of halfway point before they introduced the more steamlined hull of the later Connie-refit we see in the movies?

Yes, I think so.
