The post above is about as good as it gets, and fairly clearly shows the rivets around the face, lower edge and rear of the cowl.

 

A misunderstanding - I'm not sure I have seen a good enough picture of the cowl of the Meng kit to be able to judge yet

Yes, I did indeed misunderstand you. If they're there at all, and more or less to scale, they'd be very difficult to see in the available photos of the kit.

For what it's worth, noted that these things are listed on ebay for sale direct from China for about $60 US, I think.  No idea what they wanted for shipping or how long it would take to get it or if it would have to be quarantined once it got here, assuming it ever did.  Just thought it was interesting that this kit is such a hot topic on LSP and suddenly - boom - there it is for sale on ebay.

Based on a recent purchase from Hobbyeasy, EMS or air mail from China to the US is a no-go.  It’s either surface mail or expensive courier (DHL, FedEx, etc.) service.  The delivery estimates on those Ebay listings are September - November.

Yea, I'll just wait until they're available here in the States; no rush.

The cheapest option from a reliable source is Luckymodel if your happy with surface shipping.

15% off and combined with $8 for shipping 4 kits meant an average price of $36 each.

if you find it that cheap shipped anywhere let me know!
