Romulan Bird Of Prey Diagrams

by Agatha Chamberlain

Version 1.0 7/1/97

The Romulan Bird of Prey was featured in the episodes Balance of Terror and  The Deadly Years of the original Star Trek series. Not much is known about that ship and reference material is hard to locate.

One of the best pictures is features in the recently published Star Trek Sketchbook  by Herbert Solow and Yvonne Fern Solow on p. 252. Other reference material can be found on
Roger Sorensen's Model Citizen page.

The original AMT kit is very inaccurate and difficult to modify into an accurtate ship. It may have been based on inaccurate drawings in a fan publication.

Romulan Bird of Prey Reference #1

Notes:

1. notice the slanted hull side, which differs from the AMT model kit.
2. the front plasma torpedo tube is not included on the AMT model
3. the exhaust tubes on the rear of the engines are longer than those on the kit.
4. the shape of the front of the warp engines is similar to a Federation design, with a half sphere, rather than the whole sphere on the kit.
5. Also note the proper bird and window patterns
6. Note there are windows along the base of the superstructure, that are not shown here.
