What I am talking about are small hinges for the Avenger’s torpedo bay,
Today I picked up some hinges that I have ordered I a min the process of adding them.
Ok here is what they are called…..
Ready
They are called
Dubro Nylon Hinges for R/C aircraft and they are small enough to use you might have
To trim them a bit but they will work…so far I am pleased with the work I have done.
And they will stay in the open position

Yeah, they work really well. I modified one of my Avengers a while back and it really makes it look good..... far more realistic, especially sitting on its gear with the wings folded.
How many did you use per door? I used two per door but I think on the next one I will use three.

I can tell you one thing it sure was an easy mod to do once you sit down and plan how you will do it.
God I wish I had a camera
I would walk you through the steps

Yep, not much to it. As you said, a little planning goes a long way.

Today I started to fixed the biggest problem on the Avenger the wing fold mechanism.
I will try to see if I can borrow a digital camera from some one I know. I done some neat stuff to my S1 Avenger and would like to show you all.
