Skins and Repaints

if its realistic it possibley points to the construction of the panels. possibly the panels are layered to reduce weight and just use minimum amount of rivetts ?

Great question though !

edit, found this image which supports the single lines of rivetts. the rear sections covering could be thicker, maybe have tongue & groove system etc. i say its realistic given same is seen on this image.

They would then have to be overlapping, the panel edges I mean. And then how to produce a smooth outer surface. Or one end is thicker and receives the other edge in a specifically carved reception. But wouldn't this be even more heavy? The only interest I would see in reducing the time used for setting the rivets.
