Sturdy and with great detail but 1/72 print does not match picture

Writing this review in reverse.
First the good news. This is a very detailed print. Adding a turret/conning tower, a deck gun (available as 1/72 prints from Destefan) , and a few figures (available at lots of places, it going to be a great base for a small scale u-boat diorama. The deck detail is sharp and seems to be pretty close to accurate. The print is thin, hollow, and the resin has some flex yet it is very sturdy. Open drain/flood holes are all part of the print saving hours/days of work to open them. Some basic interior "plumbing" detail would be necessary but even just a small amount would look amazing. For a really odd reason I have the turret, deck guns and some detail from the 1/72 revell kit and I think they could work here with some adjustments. Thinking about adding the 1/72 CMK torpedo and winch if I can get the courage to do some careful cutting of the print.
The bad news is that as with another Destefan 1/72 print I've ordered, the print does not match the website pictures. In this case it's minor in that the pictures show the deck hatches as being open and for the 1/72 print I received these are printed (quite firmly) closed. There is no way to open these hatches without some really careful cutting or drilling. CMK does make a 1/72 VII hatch upgrade (I don't have it). If the print's hatch was damaged or had to be drilled out to be opened the CMK resin hatch could be used. The point is why does the actual 1/72 print not match the photo that shows the hatches open? I would have ordered it with hatches closed but this seems to be misleading. This undercuts what is actually a really good quality print. These prints are expensive but, in my opinion, worth it. It is just is wrong that someone has to actually order an expensive print to find out what it looks like. I don't want my money back, I want a really good print. Why not just show the 1/72 print I
will get so I can decide if the print is what I want?
