Currently building a westland wyvern S.4, would greatly appreciate it if people could help me find some good reference photos as it seems to be lacking...

Thanks in advance

Bah! Failed again! Somewhere on here are photos I uploaded previously. Honest.

You tried though :yes: Have a look at the FAQ section for a thread on how to do it :)

Thank you very much! Was very useful.

 

I have a new question now, apparently the wyvern's tailplanes/horizontal stabilisers have quite a dihedral which trumpeter's kit doesn't show, can anyone estimate the dihedral on them or get any good photos?

Thanks in advance

According to the 4+ book on the Wyvern, which draws heavily on Westland archives, the tailplane dihedral, featured on VW867 and subsequent, was 10 degrees.  The auxiliary fins were fitted to VW884 and subsequent.  Both those serials are in the pre-production TF.2 batch VW857-886.
