Rivets on a king tiger side skirts

[Alan 45]

I'm building a 1/35 KT and I've noticed the skirts over the tracks have rivets I was modernity if these were just riveted on or welded as well ,

I want to do an abandoned wreck so it would look better if I could fit it a little scued

Cheers

They were only riveted on Alan, being thin sheet (5mm).

Many King Tigers had the fenders removed by 1945, ones used by SS units in Hungary show this a lot.

Thanks mate that helps a lot now I can give it a real worn abandoned look like rivets have popped
