Sweetness! Cool that gave him a ship, and a neat one at that. Thanks for the new info mate!
*Potential Spoilers* What will the Alternate Enterprise-A look like

- Start date
God I want a model kit of the new 1701-A. That would be so awesome.
Models/toys/replicas of the nu1701-A AND the Beyond Enterprise for me!
I first thought it a refit Franklin maybe--shades of Eaves and the class of 96.
Well thank god it wasn't U.S.S. END(ofNuTrekbecauseBeyonddidntmakeenoughmoney)............
Seriously though, I always thought of Endeavour as a same class ship to Enterprise after reading the Vanguard series.
True in the Primeverse the Enterprise and Endeavour are both Constitutions which were built sometime in the 2245ish time frame. However we know that the 725m Enterprise we see in the current films is not a Constitution Class ship per say being that she is the only one of her class, the first of her class, and constructed sometime within the 2255 to 2258 time frame. Personally I still believe Connie's exist(ed) in the Kelvinverse as the alternate Robert April in the IDW comics commanded an Enterprise prior to the new Enterprise's commissioning, and even though it is cut content the model in Marcus' office could also be an indicator that Connie's may have existed even in the alternate timeline. Other indicators could just be that the time between the 2233 Kelvin incident and 2255 are not elaborated on in great detail so it leaves plenty of room for interpretation by fans as to what takes place in that time and what potential ship are built. As for the current Kelvinverse USS Endeavour it's once again up in the air as to what she will look like, but I'm very excited at the mystery of seeing how they portray her regardless of how that may be done. The wonders and mysteries of Trek (I love it!)Well thank god it wasn't U.S.S. END(ofNuTrekbecauseBeyonddidntmakeenoughmoney)............

FWIW, the Enterprise is listed as Constitution-class in screen graphics in Into Darkness which are just about legible in HD. I suspect the Enterprise-A will be Enterprise-class, since Mr Scott's Guide to the Enterprise was referenced by the graphics department.
Any Star Trek fan's divine right.
I like to think that ships like the Kelvin were an experiment in larger ships or even an anachronism. In then Prime universe, the larger size never quite made the grade and smaller ships prevailed. In the Kelvin universe the Narada incident, the new Klingon threat, accelerated technological advancement, and an implied earlier relationship with the Romulans pushed for larger ships.
In the Kelvin timeline, it seems like aesthetic and peacetime technology (transportators for example) have languished at the expense of military and structural technology (HUDs, phasers, torpedos, advanced warp drive).
I feel like Into Darkness effectively rebutted that militarism and Beyond showed an enhanced focus on exploration.

You really should have known better by now Rama.
Wrong. I was happy with the ship the way it was in the first two movies.
Me, too. But they just keep fiddling with it. We had basically two versions of the TOS crew Enterprise for decades: the final TV version and the movie version. Now we've had four versions in seven years (that includes the slight change to the impulse engines from ST09 to their look at the end of STID). I guess with CGI, everyone wants to paint their own version of the Mona Lisa, so to speak.
I like this view of it, makes perfect sense.
3D Sketchfab model of the nuEnterprise-A:

Perhaps now we'll see some regular orthos of the finished ship (and not of the concept art) real soon.

I wouldn't hold my breath. There have been no official orthos of the JJprise and it's been 7 years. Only fan created ones. We've gotten official schematics of all Enterprises in the prime universe. The people in charge of the Kelvin verse just don't give a shit about the starship hardware and ignore that the fans do.
I'd have agreed with you right up until those Popular Mechanics cutaways were released.
Still, no official schematics or technical manuals or whatnot like we had in the 90s. Just a one off poster in a magazine.
True. But those cutaways are gorgeous
