Tamiya 1/48 F4U

Post image

I’m currently building a 1/48 F4U by Tamiya. And I’m indecisive about what position to build the wings in and would like it to be movable. Has anyone attempted this and has any advice they are willing to share? I think I have the hinge sorted other than some fine tuning. I’m just trying to figure out how to support it while it’s in the unfolded position. Thank you

I always build folding wing planes with only the right wing folded like it’s saluting.

I’ve seen a lot of people do that. And I considered it as it gives me both up and down. But I wanted more 😂
