The droopy wing flap sits on top of the other wing flap which keeps the wings aligned. As you can seen in my pic, the wing flaps are not aligned. The left wing flap is sitting on top of the right wing flap. Quote

mickyg Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 David, you have no idea the level of insanity some modellers go to produce exactly what you're talking about with the F-15C pic. You're only just barely scratching the surface. I'd invite you to the dark side of the modelling world sites that I frequent but I'm afraid you'd never be the same again. In all seriousness, there are quite a few sites that are devoted to showing others how they've gone about producing this level of "realness" in model airplanes. WM Cheng does a lot of this with the models he builds but there are many ways to achieve this and the number of techniques and tools is only limited by time, budget, imagination and skill. But here's one guy whose techniques I love, and although he's fond of language I don't tend to use a lot myself, I appreciate his humour and style of writing quite a bit: www.doogsmodels.com I'm dying to try out some of the techniques he uses on my 1J or some of the other larger toys I've got.

ErikElvis Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Yeah I use to open just about everything but not anymore. I mean I have a couple of sideshow Vader statues that I had to have and never opened them. I just have no place to put anything! I’ve had to put a damper on collecting. Maybe I can get away with putting him on the dresser. Quote

I've usually been pretty good about opening even for inspection, but I've realized I've fallen off pretty heavily with doing so for the last year. I guess I've been a bit preoccupied with other things and I know the fanboy on me is like "openitopenitopenit". I guess it also has to do with living in NYC and the lack of space. I'm afraid just to leave things out on my desk just for the night (in the event of me being too lazy or tired to put then back in the box after said swooshing) and it gets damaged by some uneventful force. To be fair I made sure to inspect the four yf-19s I got earlier last year... for broken head lasers and all, lol. Quote

Also about to buy a condo, so it doesn't make sense to unbox everything just to re-box and finally display at the new place. On the downside, I can now afford significantly fewer valkyries per month.
