Hello,

What do you think, these rivets are OK or not. I think not, but let's hear your opinion!

The rivets look fine to me, What gives you reason to believe the model has been tampered with.

Can we see the rest of the model Ergo?

First impressions are that the rivets look good.

Thank you, Nick, Mick and motorman.

Nick, the asnswer why I asked, there are no wheelwells inside. Maybe a new variation?

When you examine the inner wheel wells, the early models (code 1 on Nick's list) have a smooth casting. This was soon changed and three wheel wells had diagonal lines cast in. I think what Ergomatic may be saying is that his gpw model doesn't have the diagonal lines, whereas Nick's list only shows the gpw with the lines. I must check mine.

That would be spooky :D I've checked mine, but as I thought, they have diagonals lines. It will be a difficult one to find I imagine, because the gpw models don't come up too often and that variation is well hidden :)
