Star Trek Klingon B'rel Class 'Bird of Prey'

Description
The B'rel-class were the primary class of gunship used by the Klingon military, commonly referred to as a 'Bird-of-Prey. There is much controversy as to the proper size for these ships, with prevailing evidence showing that there could be different sizes, such as the accepted variants K'Vort or D-12. I've built this ship somewhere in the mid-range of possibilities at a size that makes sense taking visible windows into account.

All of my ships scale at a one block equals 2.5 meters scale, however when I planned this build I accidentally used the often used scale of one block = 2 meters. That means instead of a measurement of 110 meters long for this vessel, it works out to be more like 135 meters according to my own measuring system. Coincidentally, this is another measurement that is given for this Klingon ship, so it works out just fine anyway. I've spent many hours getting the exterior as accurate as the game allowed. It includes about four decks with the essential systems; bridge, medical facility, cargo bay, and some quarters for ship crew. There is a torpedo launcher in the 'head' of the ship as well as the two wing mounted disruptors.

Sorry, no cloaking device or variable geometry wings.

Well, besides the 'Lime Green' paint (which should be more of a 'Rust' color). It looks pretty good.

This is great. Would you mind if I retro-fitted it for A9?

A very nice rendition. As for the sze controversy, there were actually numerous sizes that were implemented. there were those super tiny ones that you saw on DS9 during way of the warrior. those are comparable to the one that forced kirk to self destruct the enterprise. There is the one that Martok commanded, that one was the same size as the one used by the Duras sisters. That one was the D-12. out of the 7 sizes smaller than the K'Vort those were the 3rd largest.

The reason that there are all these sizes is because to the Klingons if a design has proven itself, keep it. If it doesnt suit a particular role, Modify it. And that usually meant a scaling adjustment.

Ex: the K'vort class came about because the Empire needed a ship that was larger than a standard bird of prey, yet as powerful as a typical cruiser, but cheaper to produce.So they took the bird of prey, upsized it to the scale that would make a Federation battleship captain think twice, and then went with that.
