The original version for TMP had a smooth hull (and is a very rare find these days). For the TWOK release, the mould was reworked to have deep panel grooves - here is a couple of photos I found showing these grooves on every surface of the ship.

Hi, I live paycheck to paycheck & am the author of two published books. Don't pirate them. There are many ways to enjoy them free like by using your library. Revenue from them comes to me, a real person who needs them & committedly distributes mutual aid.
