Bill and other:
Bill you are right, I did not catch this. Looks like LifeLike screwed up and
painted the doors the same as the nose, with grey strips. The Q never had
this to the best of my knowledge. I'm going to email Liflelike and see what
they have to say.
Will let the list know what I get out of them. May have to repaint that part
of the model. myself!
