You noticed that...heh... :^) I would prefer two white plates as opposed to
grey. Those plates are there to allow me to attach underside modules and to
easily remove the modules afterwards. They also allowed me add the
underside docking ring for the current configuration. I don't think anybody
has shown a docking ring in this way before. So far we have been jutting
them out the side of our ships, which I also include in this model. Glad
you like it so far!
