It would be, but I wasn't. The toystore plastic model is the Constellation.
It's a toy model kit of the Enterprise, distressed with a few cigarette
lighter burns. You can really see this clearly in its final approach to the
Doomsday Machine; the view is from behind and you can see that the nacelles
are simple plastic mouldings with no vents or other detail. Wobbling.
