Sheet tin usually came in 4x10 sheets, so yeah, all those seams are prototypical.

Walthers' Tristate Power, Way walls are, is that prototypical?

I have seen photos of Walthers' Tri-State Power power plant and noticed that the simulated metal siding is not one continous or at least a few large pieces, instead the sides are made of several long narrown pieces. is this prototypical or just how Walthers decided to design the wall sides. it seems kind pf noticeable with all of those seam lines showing clearly.
