Colin W Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 Wings now fitted using 2 brass rods on the rear spar and a brass s shape pinned into the wing tip and tail plane to hold them in place. I added plastic rod to the wing rear sections but they sagged when fitted so I replaced with brass rod secured into the lower wing. Nearly there!

Here are a few pictures of the diorama on HMS Illustrious. Many thanks to @Grey Beema for the necessary information on Stan Orr's machine Cheers Colin Edited April 25, 2020 by Colin W Credits 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andwil Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 That is a really complex looking wing fold. Love the flight deck diorama. AW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Beema Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Great job @Colin W. I like the origami, looks really good. Suppose I had better go finish my own now. 806 NAS as well. Late 1940 as well. Lt W Barnes this time though.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the lock down, I’m using my man Cave as an Office which is why I’m not to keen on going back in there at the weekend. I also now have a GB backlog - oh the pressure... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
