The lower structure looks unusually regular and symmetrical beside the more varied form expected of a cruiser hull. Brick construction offers a plausible reason for that simplified geometry. The instructions are exacting, with small details easy to miss among the major assembly diagrams. Familiarity with cruiser shapes makes the model's regularity especially noticeable.

Translating a cruiser hull into brick geometry
The early hull's regular brick geometry is compared with the less uniform shaping of a real cruiser hull.
