Why wouldn't it be?And the Enterprise-C we see in Yesterdays Enterprise is also canon.

A former board member had a weird obsession with Andy Probert's original Enterprise-C design being somehow the canon one.
Haha, seriously?
Sounds like a lot of fun! A "former" board member? I sense drama! Might you point us to the direction of that thread?
This is just one of the threads: http://www.trekbbs.com/threads/proberts-real-n-c-c-1701-c-closed-do-not-restart-topic.237784/
I read some of it. And some of this:

Boy, was I wrong! Certainly not fun. Not fun at all…
Not only has Probert done more work on this concept, but it also made the GEC logbook as the Council class

I know we shouldn't bump old threads but this is relevant. Today I finally got my Klingon Battlecruiser/D7/Warbird Eaglemoss model and magazine, and inside they have some good photos of the original CG model... and it has a shit-ton of tiny windows. Designer Alex Jaeger talks about adding more smaller windows to give a greater sense of scale in the magazine, although they never give an actual size for it.
So yeah, they scaled up this bad boy too.

I will hopefully tonight
What's the biggest starship in Star Trek that we have seen from a movie or TV show?
OK with those in mind I'd go for the Narada, biggest single ship and Borg Cube 2nd place. Not sure how big the Voth city ship was.
Here you go @Belz...
Having a proper read (instead of an ohmigodgottasharethis!! glance), it seems the pic I posted above was still a concept phase, where the model had been built but details and paint not yet added. This however is the final ILM model. It's missing many of the windows Jaeger spanned all over the command section - but it does still have two rows of windows in each of the grooves along the front of the forecastle whereas the original D7 and K'tinga's only had one. So I'd guess it's been scaled up by at least 2x the original's 214m.

Wasn't the Enterprise-J supposed to be something like a mile long?
Also, in the shooting script for TMP, V'ger was said to be about 78km in length.
