Looking at those diagrams I'm almost tempted to say that if you pour gas into the tank, this model will actually fly

This is one beautiful model!

[ChienChengWei]

Yes, it's really a beautifual one.

And I have added it into my wishlist. :D

[Ashrunner]

This does look like a nice kit.

I do have question for the -109 experts around the net.

This is listed as the T-1 version, however it appears to have the longer wings which I thought first came out on the T-2 version along with the folding wings. Did the T-1 also have the longer wings?

Regarding the folding wings on the T-2, did the wings fold mid-wing where there was a split in the trailing edge flap system, or did they fold up and rotate near the root like in the Ju-87C?

I have not found any information on the -109 foldings wings outside of references that they did fold.

Thanks...and this kit looks to be a killer 8v)

[GreMir]

All three models: T-0 prototype, T-1 carrier equipped and T-2 had longer wings.
I think that the only models with folding wings were the T-0 and T-1 version.
I saw a note that all carrier specific equipment was removed from all planes of T-2 version and also T-1s were "upgraded" later to have it removed.
Don't know anything about how the wings supposed to fold...
