I'm tracing it for some nice colour schematics as we speak It would help if I had larger scans though, anyone fancy trying to scam the seller into providing some?

DOn't know about that fragment, but you can see in this pic that the model did indeed have the registry on both the inboard and outboard faces of the nacelles.

Keep in mind that they didn't blow up that model. They probably just neded some of the usual debries IIRC, we didn't even see the Bozeman blowing up, so the scene may have been altered prior to filming or this one is part of another Miranda or similar vessel that has been bown up over the years (Saratoga anyone?) and Rick Sternbach just confused them (I guess it was him who told the guys at ebay what it is. If not and this information comes from ebay directly or someone lese, we shouldn't even think about it being right.)

He's quite correct, y'know. It's just common etiquette not to screw up people's browser windows by posting huge wide images, or to screw up their sites by stealing their bandwidth.

The size was annoying, indeed, but the pictures were linked from ebay. I mean, OK, the rules say no linking of any picture, but it's not that ebay would care for these bandwidth issues.

Oh, man..I thought I downloaded all the pics of the starships from Ebay, but I missed the nacelle-part from the Bozeman. Did one of you download it and would you be willing to post it here? It seems to have disappeared from Ebay, guess the bidding is over.

Ahem, you might want to consider looking on this page and apologizing to Bernd then....(and I mean this in the nicest way possible)
Consider too, and I know this is besides the point, eBay profits from the 1st quarter of this year are $104.2 million, I dont think they mind some bandwidth "theft" because they don't really seem to care about much more than their own profit anyway....
Bare in mind, if you link to this site from another you get a nice little "surprise" and ebay is making over 100,000,000x more profit, thus far this year, than this site (or Bernds), then if they really cared then they would have put some "surprises" of their own into effect.
So down with the man, man!
