From MemoryAlpha: USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-A) - Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki
Technical info Externally, the Enterprise-A was virtually identical to the refit USS Enterprise, destroyed several months prior to the launch. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home) The bridge was in its customary location on Deck 1. At least three different modules were used during the ship's service. They were the first bridges on a ship named Enterprise to almost completely use touch sensitive control interfaces. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home; Star Trek V: The Final Frontier; Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

from the outside very little changed, the biggest noticable part was the "torpedo venting" at the aft base of the dorsal. it has a much coarser corrugation after tmp.
some very small markings change in several places, none big enough to even be seen on a papermodel though. other various paint changes/upgrades/fixes. some detail parts of the model that had the thin red-line stickers around them had lost their stickers after tmp. part of the deflector grid markings changed on the 2ndry hull. 2 of the end-caps on the 3 nobby areas at the forward end of the 2ndry hull near the deflector were lost, and they are slightly different after tmp. |

One of the access panels on the side of the secondary hull was lost or destroyed, so they replaced it with a nearly identical one which was missing some of the windows the original had.
Also, the 1701 had a true 'Aztec' pattern on the secondary hull, but when they repainted it (after they realized that the 'removable' soot on the battle-damaged areas wasn't so removable after all ), they simply used an L-shaped stencil over and over. |

It should be noted that the color of the 'strong back' of the secondary hull had changed between the original refit and the 'A'. In TMP, it had a green-ish tint to it. When ILM did their repair work on it, the color was more blue.

some of the color changes/upgrades had to do with the blue-screening that was used for the shots in the later films. in the original film the model effects had been done without contrast backgrounds.
this is also why the dish color is most often shown in brownish hues, originally it was lit all in blue |

No, Andy Probert said the ship had green hues in the strongback originally; it had nothing to do with bluescreening. Also, the deflector was capable of changing from yellow to blue, to suggest it could reconfigure itself for warp flight.
