I see ;)
But note that the pictures found there are taken from the NCC-1701-A 
(introduced at the end of the 4th movie) while I'm referring to the 
original Enterprise (without the 'A') as seen within the first three 
movies and destroyed at the end of the 3rd (Kirk: "What have I done").

So either parts of the IDIC-page are missing or my memory is wrong - 
most probably the latter.

While the used studio model was the same it was painted differently.
And I for one always preferred the lighting design done by Douglas 
Trumbull for the first movie where the ship does illuminate itself and 
so there is a reason why it is actually partial visible when it travels 
in deep space.
The later 1701-A was lit by ILM in that typical Star-Wars-plain-white 
manner that I do not find very interesting.

BTW here is some interesting reading from Paul Olson who did the paint 
job an the Big E.
