A company called Mobius has produced a model of what the “NX Refit” Enterprise would have looked like in the 5th season, as they upgraded from the “pre-Akira” layout to something that looked like an actual precursor of the Constitution Class.

It is a beautiful ship!

Indeed it is. Worthy of the name “Enterprise”*. Thanks for posting that!

(* at the time the NX-01 was derided as the “Akiraprise”. But still much better than the “Edselprise” or “JJprise” from the Abrams’ movies.)

NX-01 refit sure is a beautiful ship.

The 1/1000 kit is marketed through Polar Lights and I've built about a half dozen over the last year using the Acreation azteking decals for myself and as consignment jobs. The results are nothing short of spectacular (although the kit decals are garbage and have to be re-done with an Alps printer on proper paper).

Wish I could post a few pic's of the latest but I don't do Photobucket, etc. But here's a link to a really good example done by a colleague:
