Hi, I am = back with a=20 wing-fold aircraft again. This aircraft which I am representing = was attached to HMS Prince of Wales before it was sunk by the = Japanese=20 bombers. To my best knowledge, there were 2 Warlus attached to the = ship. One=20 was discarded after the crew throught that they have landed in the = mine=20 infested sea. The other was damaged in the battle and has to be = thrown=20 overboard. One of the major problem that I faced with this = project is I=20 do not have the aircraft serial number. Drop me an email if anyone = knows the=20 serial number, thanks alot!

So far I = did not face=20 any major assembly problem with the kit. To simulate the = wing spar=20 when folded, I add some plastic strips, rods and wires. As = for=20 rigging, I used thin metal rods because it does not break=20 easily. I drilled the holes at specific locations and insert = thin metal=20 rods after painting.
