Very nice job Doug  That scheme just changes the whole look of the Wyvern ---

That does look the business 

As for wing folds ? I'm a member of the one folded, one not school. Which is fine for back in the day when they were manually folded but not so sure that's true with more modern types with powered folding/un-folding.

True but I'm running out of space!

I'm happier a bit now, the a/c has had a hydraulic failure, hence no weapons and only one wing folded.....

Good enough reason as any

Thanks, but instinct told me that scheme would look ok on the Wyvern, much happier  with the result and marginally amazed at the 40 (or more) year old Frog decals!
