Here's a short behind the scenes video about one of my favorite TOS episodes:

The director got a $500 bonus for finishing in 5 days, not $5,000.
My fave trivia : William Windom had Decker constantly fiddle with tapes in his hand during tense moments. This was a reference to Humphrey Bogart's Captain Queeg in The Caine Mutiny, and his habit of rolling two large ball bearings in his hand when he was coming unglued.
I always thought that instead of 1017 they should have gone with 1710. Same numbers, but makes far more sense to be only 9 higher than Enterprise. Or even buy two kits and do 1711, so it's not as obvious.

Constitution, but they could have done: 1707 1710 1711 1717 1770 1771

In TOS there were twelve or thirteen Constitution class ships, as of Tomorrow is Yesterday. It would be nice if the numbers ran from 1700 - 1711 or 12.
According to the TOS Starfleet tech manual, further batches were produced and there were well over a hundred in all, so their numbers could run up to the low 1800s.

There is a screenshot in "Court Martial" that lists ten starships with numbers in the 1600s, 1700s, and possibly the 1800s.

Yes, unfortunately the writers never really made more than a token stab at having NCC numbers make sense.
