It's just plastic (and stuff)....don't let it kick yer ass!!!!
Was about get working on the pair of 51's, but figured I oughtta get the pin system worked out for the wing fold before it goes off for paint.
1 pin as the support bar, and 2 pins right at the fold.
"Pinch fit"...no glue yet!!!
I love your Devastator and want to unfold its wings...

Black pre-shade
White pre-highlight (is that such a word???), followed by a light misting over all.
