Thanks Scratchy, it seems things are fitting better now as well.
A few things I thought had turned out too big are fworking out.

Thanks guys for your coments.
Ok so I had some time to work on the hull, and every area thats affected by the hull change. Here is were I am at.
1. Cut the lowe rand upper jawbox to re-angle and follow the new hull curve, also shortened the jawbox top and bottom to correct length.
2. Cut out the rear landing box again to follow the new hull curve and to lower into the hull. Never noticed before but the turret area is almost flush with the hull.
3. Cut out the sides of the docking bay ramps,top and bottom, again to follow the hull curve and for new hight. Can see this above and below
4. Removed the top mandables and rear engine deck. (made adjustment to lower mandables to suit curve as well). Engine deck will alow access like 5 footer for lighting etc as will the front mandables.
Should just pop on like this.
I think the hull is now the right hight.
Except for the extended plating to increase the hull dia' this is the new shape.
Top
Bottom
Still a bit more deconstructing to do before forward progress.
Thanks for looking

It really does pay off fixing that curvature, thats the bit that bugs me about mine.
Really once you've got your shape right (as you did before on V1) you can be happy.
I was too quick to jump in and add parts, it was later I discovered that angles & symmetry were thrown out by my hacking
Looks great Ozzy
