Check the Chronicles for a great photo of the top of the model taken back in 76/77. You can tell it's in final form because it appears to be on stage for filming complete with wires and a bluescreen pylon mount. The top side of the model is detailed only in the front and on the port side for the most part. That's because this area would be seen on camera while the rest would not. The top of the hull and superstructure "roof" are smooth (no scribing at all) and one prominent insert panel on the top hull in front of the superstructure isn't even finished.
My favorite scene in the movie is where it's flying toward the camera (used four times in total with the last instance flopped). Imagine what can be seen in that shot and what is hidden. The portions of the top side of the model that can't be seen in that shot are likely not detailed at all.
