Meh. It's quite unlikely the model builder would've been initiated into Trek geekery enough to care about the prefix. So yeah, it's probably an American ship [Wink]

One of the things that make saucers at least halfway plausible is the idea that they would be atmospheric (re-)entry modules of aerodynamic shape.

But the Emmette is aerodynamic to begin with, and the saucer probably isn't...

I mean, here we see the saucer extends all the way to the top surface; the opening credits show it on the bottom as well. It's more of a saddle-ended pillbox than a saucer, really. Inventing uses for that fancy shape should be fun.

Aqua-shuttle baby!

Or, maybe it's just a freighter between the Lunar colony and earth.

Or it's the Moonites' ship- making First Contact with suberbia.

Don't believe Timo - it isn't the Iceland it is the Finland.

He's always doing that.
