Kudos for building a full-scale lifting body type RV:

...On the other hand, there are those who argue that the SM scale was
wrong. And then there was that square hatch on the CM, and the B&W
cameras when color was available long before Skylab. Oh, and Skylab
missing a lot of parts outside and inside that *weren't* the ones
missing thanks to the rough ascent.

One can hardly expect them to predict what parts would fall off *four
years* before they actually fell off. (Not to mention they weren't
supposed to fall off in the first place.)
