Yeah it is...although all that talk about a wing-fold seems to be a BIG bluff...
Wingfold set came in last Monday.
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.

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

--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.
