Here's how DST describe it:
A Diamond Select Toys release! For the 50th anniversary of Star Trek, DST is going back where it all began, to the original Star Trek television series, to make a brand-new ship in the Starship Legends line! With its low profile and its distinctive underbelly markings, the Romulan Bird of Prey is as menacing and mysterious as the Romulan Empire it served. Measuring 9 inches long with a wingspan of 12 inches, the Bird of Prey features dialogue and sound effects taken straight from the original television series, as well as lights that are activated with the sounds, and can also be turned on permanently. The ship is packaged in a 50th anniversary-branded, full-color window box, with a Try-Me feature that allows buyers to try out the lights and sounds. Designed by Art Asylum!
For a look back at the other ships that have preceded it, check out my Trek Collective List for the Starship Legends series.

Where is the battery cover? It appears this was photoshopped to conceal what would be a visual detraction from the bird pattern on the bottom. I would rather build the Polar Lights kit and have NO battery cover or screw!
Well, there's certainly something up with those images. There are no visible seams, buttons, switches, screw covers or screws.
Not sure I'd recommend a Polar Lights kit over it, though. My experience with AMT models has just been universally negative... in the extreme (especially compared to Bandai's model kits). TBH, the ideal BoP is the (absolutely fantastic) Eaglemoss model.
It's a design sheet guys, of course it's not going to have all the nitty gritty details.
I am fairly experienced with AMT models -- I know that I have to use an overcoat to seal the decals before they are used or they will break apart! I have the Johnny Lightning BOP and it is great and I also will get the EM one as well. I prefer a more white appearance to the ship
than Gray, so I'm willing to get the kit.
The actual filming model was 2 tone and the nacelle caps glowed blue IIRC.
