Considering the whole reason that they used the Klingon ship model in Romulan episodes was the fact that the one Klingon ship they had cost a lot of production money, so they wanted that model to see as much screen time as possible.In TOS they reasoned few would likely pick up on it on the smallish CRT screens. In TAS they actually made an effort to distinguish the two.
It’s a pity in TOS they couldn’t have had an extra Klingon ship painted up or decaled with Romulan markings. It’s an even greater pity they no longer had the original BoP miniature from “Balance of Terror”or couldn’t have another one made. Mind you having the Romulans using Klingon design was a neat bit of added worldbuilding.
I understood AMT provided them with the D7 miniature in exchange for the licensing rights, similar to what they did with the shuttlecraft. If so then the D7 miniature possibly didn’t cost TOS anything.Considering the whole reason that they used the Klingon ship model in Romulan episodes was the fact that the one Klingon ship they had cost a lot of production money, so they wanted that model to see as much screen time as possible.
They may have given them a discount in some way, but I doubt they did a completely free job. Remember that at the time Star Trek was not a top tier Network show ratings wise.I understood AMT provided them with the D7 miniature in exchange for the licensing rights, similar to what they did with the shuttlecraft.

Yet the AMT Enterprise model sold like hotcakes.Remember that at the time Star Trek was not a top tier Network show ratings wise.
The weird shape of the B/C deck always bugged me.My biggest gripe wasn’t the droop…you could lean the saucer back…it was the front of the B/C deck being flat.

Typo? Or they just went with what Kirk said in “The Galileo Seven.”I wonder why they called it the 24" Galileo? Most think it was 22"...
