Apologies for posting the same pix as Vic. Alzheimer's setting in but hey, at least I don't have Alzheimer's. How about this.

Not sure if these are relevant to your build Paul.

And a little clearer front view. Enjoy. EDIT Forgot to mention the above photo is the crank mechanism for the wing fold.

Very interesting, never knew (not surprisingly) that the Stukas had folding wings.
Paul, as I recall from my long ago balsa building days, the balsa kits were made to what was called "stand-off scale" which I was told meant that from a distance they looked correctly proportioned but were not eactly to scale with the real aircraft.

Great pics fubar57. Meatloaf - the fusalage frame is looking good. This will be great to see through to the end. 8)

Thanks Geo, those are great shots, I have never seen those before!
Mike, only this "C" model had the folding wings, it was intended to be aboard the carrier Graf Zeppelin.

Paul, guess I did see that in your post. I have a model of an Me 262 Marine. Could find no history of it, my first post on this site as a matter of fact. Fortunately with all the talent here it was IDed as a prototype carrier based fighter destined for the Graf as well. Looking good by the way. Are you going to try to make a folding wing version?

 

[meatloaf109]

Thinking about one folded and one down, maybe both folded, will probably flip a coin.

nice extra pics!

 

[mikewint]

Paul, impressive, way beyond me. I'm lucky to get the plastic ones together somewhat correctly

 

[fubar57]

Maybe you could get some little dudes and show the wing being folded.

NICE! (great pics too!)

 

[Catch22]

Neat Paul, can't say I saw this one coming!

 

[fubar57]

Anyone else notice that this is one happy looking aircraft?

[meatloaf109]

For a vulture, yep!
