Any plans to make the wings movable?
I used the DLM hinge kit when I build mine about 10 years ago…

I won't be doing that for $90. The wings will be fixed in attack position.
Thanks for the link

I think they ran around 60 bucks when I bought mine from Don's Light and Magic. He had them on special.
