Well, I'd rather accept 42296 for the Hood. However, I would also accept 2541 as the Hood also, one that is a predecessor to 42296. Part of the batch of Excelsiors that included the Repulse.

hehehe. Where is the Kimono on the Excelsior?
Better translation is ...

The kimono is hidden into the aztec patterns.

Nonsense! They'll love us as their parents and serve us faithfully and with respect...just as all children do.

OK, hows about we get back to the refs I'm needing? Any and all available high-res photos of the studio model's saucer (Ent-B or Excelsior, but not Greg Jein's model) would be greatly appreciated.

Well, Sean, I hate to say it but it seems like we've all pretty much exhausted out known sources for studio model pics. If what you're looking for isn't on one of those sites, it probably isn't on the internet. Sorry.

I didint know that!
So the prototype style of Excelsior is still in service into the TNG era (and the Hood herself was built long after the Excelsior was refit for STVI) so that makes the prototype version a viable variant (not just a one-off that ws changed as tech was refined).
Cool- from my geeky starship modeler perspective.

Wasn't the Farpoint shot used for a lot of other stock shots of Excelsiors leaving - does that mean that they too are Excelsior type 1?
Well, one point to note in all of this is: Star Trek VI hadn't been made yet. Since the model would not have been too clear on 80's TV screens, I doubt they felt a need to detail the model any more.

Actually, that looks like a Buckaroo Banzai hat.
The Excelsior was not "refit" at the time TNG started so I guess we have a winnah on the issue of the Hood being a "Pre-Fit"!
hmmmm......making a pre-fit (STIII Excelsior) out of the Generations Refit (Enterprise B)model is even more problematic than making the STVI version Excelsior from it!
Ug.
A modeler's work is never done.
