I have recently started cutting the wings of some of the aircraft on my model aircraft-carriers to make them look more realistic. I am fortunate that the planes break of easily when I dust them. Does anybody know a good place to go to see pictures of how Naval Aircraft fold their wing up for storage. I know how A-7, F-4, F/A-18, F-8 and E-2 fold but other types I have pictures of that are not too helpful.
Which other planes did you want to know about? Just modern, or WWII planes?
I would like to know about the S-3, EA-6, SU-33K. Also USN ww2 and Ijn ww2.
I can help with WWII USN
SBD Dauntless didnt have folding wings
F4F Wildcat, F6F Hellcat, TBM Avenger the wings folded back against the fueselage
F4U Corsair, SB2C Helldiver, and TBD Devestator the wings folded up.
I’m not sure if I got them all, but I can provide pics if you would like.
Sea,
Check the Navy site for lots of a/c photos. www.news.navy.mil
The S-3 wings fold overtop of each other and overlap. Its tail folds too.
The EA-6B Prowler wings fold up.
