There is no "up" and "down" in space, Matt.....  ;-)

Actually, it may not even be a "mistake" - depends when and where you
got
the particular models. When originally designed (by Paul Copeland of
CMD)
the 105 did not have the little "turrety-thing" on its main hull; this
was
added by Paul later on when the model was re-moulded, but he added it on
the BOTTOM (compared to the orientation of the original version) - so
halfway through its production life, the model actually did get flipped
over so that you could still put it on a stand! The FB1 drawing was done
of
the "newer" version, flipped so the turret is on top.

The bottom line is, it really does NOT matter which way up you've got
yours!	;-)
