Dimples On Model Aircraft Could Greatly Extend Range

I'm not certain dimples would make much difference in a well designed
airfoil wing or prop or fusalage. Maybe something that had an awkward
shape, i. e., a strut, would benefit the most.
If dimples were an "improvement", why do airplane makers bother with
smoothing out the dimples from flush rivets?
