Looks like this diagram came from the same place all the other FC ship diags did - either re-done from the ones in the Encyclopaedia (like I myself did for UP3), or from at least a common source with it.

Back to the image... it's not a blueprint and for that it gets a low grade, it's a color schematic.
Beyond that it looks good, I do have a gripe with the deflector dish, it just doesn't look right too me.

The whole ventral view bothers me. It makes it look like sections are hanging down, but the side, back and front views all show that the bottom is totally flat. That makes the bottom view seem less official and more made up on the spot.

If you'll recall the Steamrunner's underside was much the same, only that had Galaxy-class features instead of Defiant-class. Remember that these were only meant to be used as background ships and were never meant to hold up to close scrutiny.

I always thought it had a deflector there in the front like the Intrepid. Oh well.
The bottom doesn't seem to be flat, and the blue panels makes you envision a very diff. top paneling scheme altogether.

I hapen to like the Norway (it's a hell of alot better than some of the Wolf 359 ships!). When making my 2500th scale model of the Norway, I added two phaser strips and a partially recessed Quantum Torpedo launcher to the ventral side...as well as some lifeboats! I also made the Impulse Engine between the outrigger pylons instead of two seperate engines at the aft sides (like my friend from Nova Hobbies did). From the schematic, I really can't tell where the Impulse engine(s) are! Ideas?
....oh, and I think that screenshot of debris is supposed to be the remains of the Zandura design.

No, it's not. Detail went into those ships. No detail went into this one.

No, it's not. John Eaves drew a four-nacelled ship design called the U.S.S. Zandura, along with other designs, which were never made into CGI models. Although the piece of debris doesn't seem to match any known ship designs, it also doesn't match the Zandura drawing. Somebody just heard the name "Zandura" and assumed that the debris came from that ship.
