-====Model====
-The ''Elkins''-type model was "[[kitbash]]ed" from the [[saucer section]] of a [[Revell-Monogram]] {{USS|Voyager}} model, the body of an F-14 fighter jet model, warp pylons from an [[AMT/Ertl]] [[runabout]] model, and [[warp nacelles]] from an AMT/Ertl {{USS|Reliant}} model.
+=== ''Technical Manual'' ===
-The ''Elkins''-type was probably inspired by the [[Intrepid class#The Voyager_Prototype|''Voyager'' prototype]] study model by [[Rick Sternbach]].  Many have confused the ''Elkins'' with the ''Voyager'' Prototype due to their similar designs.
