Imo the medium ship is far better than the "official" set build, i absolutely
love how they made it a 3-in-1 set

I'm not sure I would have agreed with you at first but now that the build
is complete ... you have a point. There's something off about the back end
of the Galaxy Explorer, it tapers horizontally but not vertically, and the engines
aren't proportionally large enough to make up for that.

I wonder if anyone else has built this. I noticed, after building, that the windscreen
did not close properly and it looks like there is a tiny collision here (p. 102
in the online instructions - step 162). For myself I moved the white ingot pieces
back a stud and that solved the issue, but I'm less than happy with how the
result works - the ingots should line up with the printed tiles.

Hmm, yeah, it’s very tiny on my virtual model. The kind of things you think
should be well under real parts’ tolerances… and actually isn’t

Maybe it depends on how you build it.
Analogy (not sure if the story is true, but the phenomenom is real):
When the Japanese built the lines for the Shinkansen, they had trouble with the
catenaries. It appeared that there was a resonance because the length between
pillars was too regular. They solved the problem by specifying different lengths
between the pillars.
No proplem in France with the TGV lines. No specification needed 
So maybe you need to not be too precise in building the model and the problem
doesn’t appear
