A medium-sized research vessel, patterned after the Sovereign-class starship, except much smaller. It is named after Jodrell Bank, the radio telescope in Great Britain where astronomers discovered the first black hole.

When I said it was patterned after the Sovereign-class ship, only smaller, I wasn't kidding. This started out as an old Enterprise-E kit, but with the following modifications: Much of the outside of the saucer section was cut away; the engineering hull was cut down drastically and the warp nacelles were shortened and had the lower portions removed.

The nacelle pylons are sheet plastic. Phaser strips were made from half-round styrene strips. Decals were from the spares box, but the hull banners and names were custom made. (And I can't remember who did it. But it was some outfit I found through the Starship Modeler website....)
