[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [qb] I think that unknown ship is the Kyushu with an extra row of windows and escape pods. It's otherwise very close, and there's just enough room on the finished model for that row. Since the Buran was modified after the shot, why not the Kyushu too? It's definitely not the Melbourne, though, the Melbourne had no modifications to its saucer. [/qb][/QUOTE]The black marks at the very front of the saucers are the same. It's the Kyushu. As for the missing escape pod hatches, just look at the Buran. Its hatches were removed too to be able to get the ship's name and registry number affixed, so that's probably what happened with the Kyushu too. But there's an even easier way to determine this. Take a Shwann Stabilo marker of the kind that Okuda used to make the Kyushu's pods, and stick them on both a 1/2500 saucer and a 1/1400 saucer, and you'll see that they fit the 1/1400 saucer like in this top view: http://i767.photobucket.com/albums/xx320/gebirg137/Star%20Trek/kyushu2_zpsmzl4bwir.jpg [QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [qb]I wish Fructose was still around- or his website was- as he had a brilliant rebuild using 2500th parts. It was an exact match. [/qb][/QUOTE]I remember that site, and his model, which [i]was[/i] made from a 1/2500 kit. I also distinctly remember him saying that he found out later that the original Kyushu was made from a 1/1400 kit. The pods he used on his model were not the Stabilo markers (because they would have been too big) but rather something he came up with himself. I have pics of his Kyushu model somewhere. I know for a fact that the pods he used did not look like the markers. [/QB][/QUOTE]
