BBI Hellcat wing folding instructions

Post by JOC » Tue Mar 29, 2022 8:01 pm

Can anyone on this board help me with obtaining copy of instructions on how to fold the wings on the BBI Hellcat 1:18 scale? I’ve lost mine over the years and would like to be able to fold the wings without breaking them.
Thank You

I can't help you but have you tried searching for youtube type video reviews that may show the wing folding method.

No I have not. I do not subscribe to YouTube and do not know if I can use it or not.

I can help, but you'll have to wait a few hours...getting ready for work right now. It's not difficult to do once you see how.
