Hi , it all depends on which version , time scale and factory . The reason is they altered in the placement , numbers and sizes as the war progressed. To give an example the number can be anything from 21 to 29 bolts fitted. not counting the vasrious types of domed nuts used. I hope this helps cheers ian

Hi Ian, I an talking about late 85mm versions. I think most had flat bolts by then. I need to scratch build a rear plate and just looking for an accurate size for them. Dragon kits used 1 mm bolt heads, which seem a little large. Thanks, Dmitry

DML got the size close enough. The bolts were large.
