Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

Came home to 3 new ships that were delivered today. The 2009 Klingon Battle Cruiser, 121-Xhosa and 122-Yeager. I’m not a fan of the DS9 kitbashes but I actually kind of like the Yeager model. I still think the Intrepid primary hull on the Maquis Raider hull is ridiculous though.
Yep got that too. I also received an announcement email about the 1:8 scale BTTF DeLorean kit series - FINALLY! The first issue is discounted at $1.99. Damn them, they're like drug pushers. The first score is free or dirt cheap and they suck you in at a higher price later on. Of course, my jones demands it!
Edit: For anyone interested in this, the new site is here.
Sigh...they're finally getting around to back-filling the ones they skipped for me almost 2 years ago (and subsequently purchased on the online store). So, I'm falling a little behind on the latest releases and I'm flipping the duplicates on eBay as soon as they come in.

My question is "How many months (thus my hard earned $$) until a finished model?"
Was wondering that myself. Didn't see an answer to that in the FAQ.
Three if you count the "Year of Hell" Voyager
I never felt he immediately dismissed them and he has written long articles about his opinions as to why he doesn't consider them part of canon. I think his door is open to reversing his thoughts but it's a long long reverse if the producers on Discovery ever decided to explain everything to satisfy fans. I'm still in hope that they do but at the same time I knew an updated look was bound to happen one day.
Did the books ever do the refit Voyager with longer nacelles? Or was that plan scrapped?
A refit Voyager with longer nacelles and Vesta-style impulse engines appeared on the German translation covers, but Cross Cult was told not to use it anymore.
The only in-universe changes are 1) permanent quantum slipstream drive, 2) Torres-Paris family quarters, 3) saucer separation capability. Visually, the ship is supposed to look the same on the outside, going by the English edition covers.
klingon warbird (aka battlecruiser according to the box and the stand) arrived just now. she's much larger than i anticipated. could use a dry brushing and her torpedo launcher painted, but i'll wait to make any changes until the magazine arrives.
really happy to have a battlecruiser in this size, it's about time.
if only they had met on screen.
oh and it looks perfectly fine next to discovery:

Now THAT is how you do a Klingon ship. 
They could also do the "silver blood" Voyager from "Course Oblivion" that's all melty and distorted. (Seriously, though, don't do that, guys.)
I doubt they fixed all its accuracy problems, sadly.
Just a question for uk subscribers. I got the Niagara and eymorg today. Haven’t looked at them yet though. But I was expecting the special Klingon ship too. As I subscribe to all the specials they normally come with my normal subscription. I’ve been charged for the Klingon ship and as I say was expecting it. What have others got.
