I've gone a bit mad and started collecting multiple copies all different so I have a couple of spaceships. One had a bit missing so I decided to assemble it. The American spaceships differ to UK ones by being folded the other way.

The American spaceships differ to UK ones by being folded the other way. If you've made a study of issues of OOTB, have you ever come across one where the middle of the spaceship where the ELO logo is has a fabric version of what's painted underneath stuck over it? It looks like a sew on patch and goes around the spine of the cover - I asked about it on here ages ago and now I can't find the thread, grr
It's so perfectly done it looks like an official thing, but nobody's ever heard of one so it might just have been a skilful fan who did it. Have you ever seen one?

I remember the thread,around 5 years ago? didn't the poster say they bought it somewhere and was asking basically the same questions as you?

I always thought that the thread had pics of the 'patched' OOTB, that's old age for you...

Yes, I thought I'd posted pictures too - nice work Horacewimp finding that one post though As I recall, there was more discussion about it somewhere but it was perhaps in such a random thread it would be impossible to find now. The pics might be there. Can't believe it was 7 years ago!
