    You mean the "micro" decals that were intentionally too small to read, at least until the Smithsonian/NASM era of detail photos?

    I could help with that by digging some photos up, but it won't be for a couple of days (don't ask). In the meantime, you might find some good images here:

    Obviously, you're looking for pics of the saucer's underside and the Engineering hull's starboard side.

    I found some relevant photos but I'm having a bad time with my image hosting accounts for some reason. I could email them to you if you want.

    There are definitely resources out there that have detailed photos of the model. For one, the Smithsonian refurbishment crew posted lots of them recently, for sure.

    Come to think of it, the Polar Lights model kit instructions show them all quite well. :ouch:

    I'm afraid I don't remember, it's been a while.

    The Trek Art Forum might be a good place to as about this, as a number of people there have researched the model in order to do reproductions.

    Too bad Cloudster.com is gone - they had lots of photos of the model.

    So much detail that would never be seen on TVs of the day. Or even now? Like carving the tops of gargoyles.

    I... somehow never knew these tiny details existed. How cool.

    The presence of such details bolsters my view that the ship would have looked good on the big screen in a feature film in the late 1960s.
