That's a real shame. It looked so nice too. When I built mine I had to grind away about a sixteenth of an inch of plastic from the thickness of the hull using my Drexel to get it to fit:

Then, after gluing the hull together, the LED that lit the control room over the clamshell doors wouldn't light so I had cut a hole in the upper hull to resolder a broken wire. Loads of fun:

I'll bet you anyone who ever attempted building this model with the hangar bay has some kind of horror story they could share about it.
