I'm honestly torn about that 8Rad detail. I see this image and it almost looks like I can see an outline of where it used to be, but then again I believe that the top and bottom were complete 1 piece casts with that detail already embedded in the cast. So I'm torn.

I hear you there - I always strive to make the model as it appeared "in its prime". In my case, I've removed that part because I can't spot it on any picture, including the circa 1977 photos that I've studied. I wonder if the model makers removed it from a casting before painting.
