Dihedral on Supermarine Walrus

Just started on a build of the Revell nee Matchbox Walrus and have been doing some dry fitting and I am puzzled about the dihedral or lack of it on both sets of wings!!

Does anyone have a decent set of plans for the Supermarine Walrus which gives the dihedral for both the upper and lower wings?

Or was there specific instructions on one of the 1/48th kits by Special Hobby?

In the old Profile booklet the centrefold profile seems to show no dihedral in the nose-on-view but the side profiles seem to hint at dihedral on the lower wing.

The (basic) rigging diagram on the Revell instruction sheet has both wings flat but it is only a simple drawing to aid basic rigging not an accurate plan.

The mouldings when dry fitted give some dihedral on the lower wings but very different angles on port and starboard!
