Believe me, I know well how the original amt kit goes together. I've built more of that kit than I am years old i would bet, and know the inaccuracies. I built my first one back in 1968. The kit had lights for the warp engines, upper and lower saucer domes. The classic amt kit available now was actually a retool of those early kits, as the original tool was aluminum which wore out quickly. But it is accurate for the Constellation. As far as what CBS has done with it, I best keep my opinion to myself.
