Reminds me of Voyager using their Kazon ship model as both the mothership and the shuttle.

Well in fairness the original Enterprise should be much larger then the length given, based on the internal size of the sets, just as the excelsior should be much larger then stated based on the size of its bridge. They have had several threads about the inaccurate scale used for external ship size based on internal sets. You could certainly argue that Discovery is just putting the ships in amore accurate scale (until of course we see how bad they might screw up internal sets size compared to external ship design).
Voyager modified the model for each case though, the shuttle has a cockpit, the mothership windows, a bridge dome, and generally upscaled features.
This is more akin to TNG in season 2 (or 3?) using the Bird of Prey model as a completely new, 24th century klingon ship.
The book Star Trek Shipyards 2153-2293 has arrived. As we knew, it’s basically the non-behind the scenes sections of the ships. It has brief briefs on some yet-unreleased DSC ships.
Main draw there being the orthographic views.
Also confirms NCC-1621 as registry for the USS Sioux.

Or Spacedock and the much larger TNG-era starbases.
Of course scaling problems have long plagued Trek productions, as far back as "The Doomsday Machine". To this day, I'm not sure what size the Defiant is, or how Voyager supposedly accommodated shuttles that big.
are there orthographic views of the magee-class?
NCC-1621, happens to be, the number of the ill-fated Mayflower in the KVerse.
Cool picture! Weird that they're showing two dorsal views, though. I wonder if that was an error in printing.
The bridge module seems to be a different scale to the rest. 3 big bridge windows on there, but multiple close rows of tiny post box windows underneath.
I could’ve sworn I’ve seen the underside in a picture somewhere but I can’t find any source.
trekcore posted photos of the kelvin timeline shuttles set:
looks like they're available 12 october in the UK. no word on the US release yet.

what a funny looking ship. i love it.
Not everything is huge. The smallest ship is 225 meters.
Interestingly, the transport shuttle (military shuttle) shows weathering. I remember Ben saying years ago they can’t do weathering, which is why all the ships always look pristine. And it was only with the USS Franklin NX-326 where they had to cross that bridge.
Apparently, that has changed.

Probably because techniques/tech is moved on in the past half decade since they started.
Oh and Spacedock:
Achtung!!
