Dear friends,
On behal of Modelsvit team, would like to clarify the issue with rivets on our Mirage IIIE (#72045), which have became a subject of long discussions among you. FYI: On the Mirage III E's early bare metal schemes (see bellow) the rivets were well visible. Later on the the fuselage was primed, its surface became sleeker and riveting slightly disappeared. Therefore, in order to simplify the work of those of you, willing to have the early metal scheme, we released the kit with rivets.
Thank you for your attention!
