Yes, I agree. Though doing the same treatment to the Bird of Prey, like they did to the E-nil and D-7 in DS9 would be nice.

So, now that we've got reliable diagrams to get the ship's proportions, can anyone who's got a bit more of a practiced eye make some calculations on the pre-BOP's size?
I may be remembering wrong, but I seem to recall that the last shot with the pre-BOP behind the ship was after dialogue had said that it was closing to 500 meters -- which is basically 2 ship lengths for the NX-01.
Based on that, it looks like the pre-BOP might be approximately 1.5 times the length of the NX-01.

I've done a bit of a structural analysis and I've come to ~200m as the length of the ENT BoP.
Does anyone here have contact with Eaves? He'd be the one to get a definitive design size from.

300 meters would make it bigger than the TOS BoP for sure.

I pretty much agree with Bernd on the size of the TOS BoP (140m according to my measurements of the Encyclopedia charts) and, at 200m, the main body of the ENT BoP would be the same size. Notice how the nacelles are much longer and the pylons swing further fwd on the ENT Bird -- the result being an overall longer ship, yet the volume would be almost the same.
