The Revell Defiance was a great find, and I will be adding those parts to it as soon as I am able to get the kit. Going to a few hobby stores today to see if they have one.
I would love to know what the correct ribbed piece is on the bridge face. The one I made for my model is temporary. From the photo of the SD in the Chronicles book, you can see that ribbed piece is not just below, but in front of the pieces above it. It also looks bigger than the piece I made from the Akagi kit. Below is a comparison of my bridge with the Chronicles photo. Does anyone have any idea where this ribbed piece comes from?

Also, it seems that if I decide to reposition the antenna upright, it would be straighter than the original as it leaned pretty far to the starboard side. I think this was done as part of a forced perspective issue like the trenches, since the ship was only filmed from the port side. I can't see the ILM crew positioning it that far off by accident.
