Does this kit offer a folded wing option?

Chaps, apologies for the delay, wont bore you with the reason.  Thought I would break from sticking and painting and do some decals instead. Wish I hadn't, there is quite a lot to do! That said, I don't think I've come across decals that settled as well as these, really good.  |

Some good decal work and you really brought all the details out on those wings bud. That looks really good.

Wow! I saw a show on this beast. It was not running and being moved to a new home. It took one of the Ilyushin monsters to move it. Still had to remove two wing panels. Big girl.

You commented on how well the decals settled in... are they the decals that come in the kit or aftermarket?

Chaps. A few more days of decal adding, some are pretty small. Settled down nicely so I will coat them with semi gloss clear soon. The piece of paper held on with masking tape is stuck to each side purely to stop my fat fingers rubbing the paint off as you need to handle it a bit.  |

Those decals look like they did in fact settle in nicely Mence and there's a few stencils I see on there as well. Hey.....at least the stencils aren't as numerous as the ones on an F-4 Phantom.  LOL! |

Thanks chaps. Wings on, push fit only but they're tight enough. She's not a tail sitter which is great but despite all the added weight, only just.  |

That wing fit looks perfect Prof!! This one is building up quite well. Despite the oddness of this aircraft, it's got a unique sense of "cool" to it.  |
