I looooove the new Starviper title and will be running four SV and Sunny a fair bit. Wanted to sweep the wings back on a couple of the Vipers. Anyone have any advice of what to do or what not to do when removing and reattaching the wings on a starviper?
Starviper Help Wanted: How to remove and reattach the wings
The body should pop apart into two halves, and the wings pop out of that From there it should be a simple job of rounding off the spars connecting the wings with a file so thaqt they'll rotate, and gluing the body back together around them. Or you could do it the complicated way like I did, breaking them off and pinning them back together with brass rod.
Hint: don't do it the complicated way.
In all seriousness i just froze mine and gently folded them, no disassembly at all

if you want them permanently folded that would work, but if you want them mobile, probably not.

most people already have 2 if they do any sort of imperial lists or will have by GFH. problem?
That said, if you want to do a repaint with this method do it before folding.....
Edited by RalgonNo problem. Just a note.
Making a folded conversion is cool. Making a movable one is also cool, they just need different techniques.
Hit a hobby shop for some photo etched saw blades. They are roughly .003 thick. A little thicker than a sheet of notebook paper. You can use them to separate wings from fuselage.
