Something has come to my attention (as I pack this model for an upcoming event)...

it seems the body sides have buckled slightly...curved a little bit... where the rear Storage Hatch Doors are attached.
These are of course just layered parts.

I don't know if I grabbed and squeezed it,
or it is the glue, or the double layering, or just my build.
It appears to be more prominent on one side of the vehicle...the other side barely has any deflection.




I think it would make sense to have added a bit of strengthening material
to the backside of each body side panel in this area.
Like this...



My model is finished, so I can't make any changes,
but if you are building the model, you might want to consider this.

I've made up a diagram and template to help you add some material, or add something to reinforce this area.
