Yeah it is...although all that talk about a wing-fold seems to be a BIG bluff... :bored:
Wingfold set came in last Monday. :dancing:
Quite decent, not an A+, but can't complain! All I managed to do during the week was get them washed, cut off the stubs and get em ready to go.

Just a little bit of fine trimming/sanding to get em to fit right...

The rest will go on after painting.

:hmm: Guess it wasn't a bluff after all...

A few questions!!! :DI:
--You also going flaps down on this MOFO?
--How much of the wing folds and at what angle?
--Are those 109 fueselages in the background or what???

--Absolutely! By design, that is the only option. There's another "flap" between the wing and main flap that also drops to fill the void between wing/flap...that part is molded down, with the wing.

--The outer/separate pieces fold...straight up, 90deg.

--Yes.
