With only 1mm (.40) raised it's hard to notice any empty space on mine. Going to1.5mm and hanging in the air you would always be looking at that area when looking at the trenches so it would odd their is that empty space all along the top.
With mine in addition to adding a .40mm strip to the wall, I also added strips to the top of those areas that stick out past the wall which in turn breaks up any continuous line around the top.
I measured the new trench size from the inner top edge to the inner bottom edge on and it's almost 5.5mm

I thought about that when I began but when I raised the sides and placed the existing Zvezda trench pieces in place, the 1.5mm gap WAS noticeable to me. Especially since this model will hang from the ceiling just above eye-level (so the hangar bays can be appreciated) and the gap is much more noticeable. As I have been mimicking the 8 foot ILM Avenger, flat surface detail begs to be filled and broken up.
But then I am a silly perfectionist when it comes to doing creative things, which is why I spend so much time messing around with it.
