There are some flat panels on the back, just like the corrugated panels on the front of the cargo section. I could not mold these panels in the part as there is a joint that needs to be filled right on the outer edge of the panels, so they have to be put on after the cargo section is done. I'll be sending the missing materials and a printed sheet that explains what to do to everyone involved in the coming week. Scott

I did not get them w/ mine. Can you post them here or are there copyright issues to consider? emailing them to me is fine too. Thanks! -t

I forgot about that and I never did the photo sheet. Then again, I've only sold 3 kits-- and you're the first one to point it out! I will post the photos as they are helpful, but there are better ones here: Original Botany Bay Model Also, here is a diagram showing the panels I mentioned in the first post in this topic-- Note that the panels line up with the edge of the part and sit back from each recessed line about 1/8 of an inch.

No prob on the sheet styrene. I've got plenty on hand. I take it there's a diagram for cutting the correct size and all that. Steven Lee Forbidden Plastic

I made that image actual size, but who knows what will happen to it in the translation! Scott

The sheets are probably waiting for me now. Thanks for the photo link. Those are some great photos. I am shocked to see the mdoel was orange! Maybe they thought it would rust over the hundreds of years in space! I was going to go w/ a simple silver/white w/ penciled in details all over the place as s dhip nowadays would. I've got a tough decision in front of me... Thanks again for this kit, Scott! Happy modeling! -t Best Regards, -t
