The long parts of the bays were sanded on the belt sander. As the sand belt arrives at its life end, I had to press a little strong and some areas will need some catch up. And when I did not press it, the part had to stay longer and was warming and warping. As these parts are still a little thick, I will sand them again after having change the belt.

Beforehand, they will redo a ride in hot water to straighten

There are a lot of small bubbles on the back and belly plates. They are rather difficult to see because of the color of the resin.

Although the angle of view on some sources may actually give this feeling, the two small protruding ears have nothing to do there and should be removed.

Before: area to remove in pink

After, still need some cleaning

The molding of the Leopold part is not very nice. I could have change it, but it is on the underside, not so viewable finally, so I'll keep it. The kit Leopold 1/144 is also no longer available, and I have other uses in mind (because it can be found on other StarWars and Galactica ships,

less anecdotal than this tanker). So I re-hollowed the rows of holes, added some missing details and closed the sides (this is more accurate, and will prevent the part from bending).

It's not top notch, but I will stay as is on this one.
