[edit] Background
This listing is based on the name of the only known vessel of its type, the Elkins itself. The ship-type was named for DS9 VFX coordinator, Judy Elkins.
[edit] Model
The Elkins-type model was "kitbashed" 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.
The Elkins-type was probably inspired by the Voyager prototype study model by Rick Sternbach. Many have confused the Elkins with the Voyager Prototype due to their similar designs.
