A subsequent third draft was made into a poster in  released by SciPubTech. Cushman had been working on an even larger – eleven feet, the same length as the original eleven-foot Enterprise filming model, just refurbished by the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum for Star Treks 50th anniversary – and   fourth draft, slated for a release by the museum to commemorate the anniversary,  but as of late 2020, the release has yet to come to fruition in any form or format.

Cushman has also created a cutaway poster of the original Thomas Kellogg design of the Class F shuttlecraft in 2018, at the behest of ILM model maker Bill George for showcasing on the latter's , but which has otherwise not been released commercially.
