It's not appocryphal. And I'm a bit surprised that it's *you* that even
thought it could be ;-)
Yes, that piece has studs representing door handles. I suppose it could be
done. But my last part of the previous did have a big UNLESS in it :) I just
have a feeling TLG won't use it because it doesn't fit four minifigs, and it
has a solid back wall. The MF's back cockpit wall has a hatch.
See Derek's model of the MF in another strand of this thread. It's more simple
but quite accomodating.
