Orientation is not a problem- here's a new mesh, right way up (BTW you can do basic transformations without 3d software using shipedit- ships with Orbiter).
Looks a lot better now, although there's still the whole issue of the "holes" in the side panels. Perhaps you could ask gattispilot for help there? He knows a thing or two about that sort of thing, unlike me.
They are all converted/included in the zip
Nothing special/dificult, just a lot to work through, if you have the time/patience...
No, that part is not supposed to be animated.
Yes, there is indeed an open hangar section.
What I meant was that the vessel's front section was perfectly fine the way it originally was, as shown below. It didn't need to be "patched" the way the sides were.
Good job, but the mesh is once again "banked" 90 degrees to the right and off-center.
Very good! Now, there's just one more thing that needs to get done - while the vessel's front section is otherwise fine, there's still a "hole" in the area dividing it from the rest of the spacecraft, as shown below.
Correction - I just realized that, in addition to the resizing, there's one more set of "holes" that I missed, and those are the one highlighted below.
