That’s a very flattering review! My hope is that everyone likes this as much as this reviewer did. 🙂
The questions about the decal markings on the primary hull are fair ones. The main reason they’re there is that they were approved by the licensor haha. But the actual reasons they are there is that these extra markings have carried over from a previous version of a U.S.S. Enterprise ornament, specifically the event exclusive repaint of the 2016 sculpt of the ship as designed for the first pilot.
The best visual I can find is this art for the box top of a model kit produced by Polar Lights called the U.S.S. Enterprise Pilot Edition that allows a build of three versions of the filmed model. That doesn’t explain the extra markings on the bridge dome, but there ya go. The next time we do an original U.S.S. Enterprise, I’ll be more attentive to that detail.

I can’t attach art on here, so this link should get you to what I’m talking about.
