So looking at the shuttlebay etch, the only thing I thought was actually of use is the door leading to the cargo area. So after three tries I got the sucker glued on. The first try it got stuck to my tweezers and almost bent in half, and the second time it shifted right as the glue set and I had to CAREFULLY pry it off, sand down both the molded on door and the back of the etched part and try again. It still shifted slightly, but less than the second try and after filing down the bottom edge, when its sitting on the hangar deck its barely noticable at all.

Speaking of the deckplate, it has a HORRIBLE pair of indents in the floor. I got them puttied over and will sand em down once set. Then I gotta lightblock both parts, paint, decal and start laying out the clear sheet for the bay interior windows.
