As I predicted, so-called real work took over this week. But I did manage to do some work - the starboard wing can now fold. There is an overscale gap which was necessary to allow tolerances for movement, but it works and seems to be strong enough at the join. When the rear fuselage is in place the wing roots seem to be exerting enough pressure to hold the movable section at an acceptable angle (it flops down slightly when closed)
Also repositioned the chin scoop to be a more realistic larger depth, and added the blades to the prop after sanding the edges. As usual I never checked which way the prop actually turns - all I know is that Merlins turned one way and Griffons the opposite...
