"The other decision is required at this point in the build, namely to display with wings folded or not. I've decided to have it both ways and to fold the starboard wings only and have the port ones extended. Hopefully the model won't tip over!"
Andy,
You're doing more with this kit than I'm capable of and I'm happy to follow your build since it's obviously going to end up a fine looking model.
As to the one wing folded idea - it's one I toyed with when I started mine and wish I'd done. I think it actually would have saved me some alignment headaches - or maybe not but that's the way I plan to continue the resurrection/rebuild of my Swordfish. For what it's worth, have a peek at this: IPMS Kit Review: Tamiya 1/48 Fairey Swordfish Mk.II
I doubt the model will tip over but who knows what that person may have done to prevent it.
