Don't jump the gun on this CEV model. That is what Revell did back in
the 1960s with their 1/72 scale CSM molds, which were forever locked
into the incorrect Apollo Block 1 configuration.


....No ****. And rather than correct the mold, they simply reused it
for every single 1/72nd scale kit that required a CSM stack. Hell,
their 1/48th scale version was also a Block I, which is why the
Monogram see-thru version sold far better even if the "kapton" on the
outside was the wrong color.
