Original filming miniature Type-4 Shuttlecraft assigned to USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A, cleverly used in Star Trek V as both the Galileo and Copernicus shuttlecraft (port side is labeled "Galileo / 5" with starboard labeled "Copernicus / 3"). Nose of shuttle is marked "5". The aft hatch number has been removed following production (the miniature effects crew switched the aft hatch "5" decal with "3" for the necessary sequence). Crafted of steel, aluminum, fiberglass, resin and vacuum-formed components. Exhibiting age and production wear, including scuffing to paint, flaking of decals, missing lower panel in the nose. From the Collection of Greg Jein.
