Unfortunately it's not a straight texture swap for the Romulan one (the wing textures needed to be moved cos of the logo on one side and text on the other
).Enjoy

If memory serves, weren't the Sparrowhawks abandoned by the Romulans at one point during the General War and the Klinks salvaged them but couldn't properly fix the plasma launchers?

Nope, there were 3 Sparrowhawks that were cut-off in Klingon space during the General War, they were captured by the Klingons who gave the Romulans 3 D5s in exchange - the Roms kept quiet though they were most displeased at losing 3 state of the art cruisers and gaining 3 unmaintainable Klingon rust-buckets

that goes through and examines the differeing D7/Ktinga/whatever type of Klingon cruisers seen in Trek (ie canon) and how they have changed in colour/detail. Also points out the contradictions etc in the History of this class of ship
Basically i've taken my insperation from the Star Trek Motion Picture D7 with the wing details from the Ktinga. The Brel/Drel were originally supposed to be Romulan ships, but they thought the Romulans weren't 'dynamic' enough blah blah blah. So, the green off of these are, imho, Romulan in origin. Later on in TNG more of there ships were greener, again a Romulan influence? Also, all the TOS stuff we see they are always a pale grey, and being a TMP based ship I've gone for a shot in the middle. As far as the coloured details on the wings, I believe the only D7 in TMP era to have these was Kronos 1, kinda like the Klingon Air Force One I presume. You don't see the US president flying with United Airlines or anything, he gets a special paint job so why not the Klingon Chancellor
Also, the above link has an interesting bit:-From a bit talking about "Trials and Tribble-ations" from DS9, "Note that while the colour scheme is somewhat greener than the TOS model this ship has the same clean hull, with the exception of a feather pattern scored into the dorsal engineering hull. The fact that this pattern is actually built into the hull, rather than being painted on, could be taken to indicate that this ship is of a different class than the TOS model, except for one thing - during TOS we never saw a shot of the top of any Klingon ship!"
Anyway, I like my Klinks in grey (my installed Bop models are toned down from the green to a more grey/green
) and I think it suits the era better, a militaristic cash strapped empire probably doesn't worry how pretty their ships look when they're blowing the enemies ships out of the stars 
rant over

I LOVE this ship!
It's great to have you back in action, sir!
I'm really looking forwards to seeing your next creations>
Any chance you'll be doing more Hydrans?

@ rent-to-own option....~sense of humor alert~
Can see the adverts now..."Pay so many credits a week and before you know it you will have your own battlecruiser. See local dealer for details...Crew and extra weapons arrays not included, restrictions apply...cannot deliver to Federation controlled space".....
Semper Fi, Carry On

Same here...the only "green" ships in my Klingon models are P81's B'Rel and K'Vort...and I wish even they were a lot less green and a lot more grey... heheh
