I've always thought the opposite. Armor allows more fudging and covering up of mistakes. On an aircraft the lines and curves are more clean and everything is highly visible. Aircraft also have long seams like fuselages and wings.
I can see where you're coming from here and those long seams are easy to over work. Detail gets lost and panel lines need to be re-scribed. I guess, when I typed the post above, I was thinking of my Dragon 251. Like your pioneer vehicle (I assume) the hull has two halves top and bottom. On mine, after several dry fits, it's become apparent that I'll need to use a little putty. My problem is that the seam is visible from the outside and the inside as well. I've never had a problem like that before.
