Recently I bought the Klingon Vor'cHa class plastic model kit in 1/1400. It's a very accurate kit - the whole ship is 34,5cm long when assembled.
Almost all surface details of the studio model are implemented on the miniature.
On st-bilder.de there is quite passable reference material from the studio model of the Vor'cHa class. Especially the pictures of the bottom were very helpful.
To detail the kit, it was necessary to add some small plastic strips. The kit itself is very fitting, so that it was not much plastic putty needed to fill in the gaps.
At the Warp nacelles I missed most of the details.
The back of the radiator block I have completely replaced because the parts were not accurate.
At the "head piece" I have detailed only the front elements.
The bottom was the most estensive building part. Here were some details that were not included in the production of the model kit. Presumably, because those were the parts that could be removed on the original studio model to get to the wiring.
