The ship looks bigger than it is. The cargo area (or at least the vehicle airlock area) is pretty small - it can fit one vehicle and some cargo boxes. An MRC/Gallery Models 1/350 LAV-25 fits fine, but I modified it by increasing its height with a slab of styrene and removing items like the turret ring and the muffler. I added a couple of domes from a Gundam add-ons package and got this:



Not a big vehicle, but OK for a quick exploration. The "elephant trunk" in front is for sensors, or a remote arm or whatever.

Not much room:



I painted the vehicle red to highlight any spots that still need filing or sanding. I may leave it red (or some variation). The boxes and tanks in the vehicle airlock are spares from another project:



This is what I got done yesterday:
