How easy was it to install the upgrade set for the folded wings?

Marek Valko
Shar not so difficult. On the wing for cut you just follow the panel lines and on the resin you have to adjust some surfaces and create it shorter a bit.
But you have to create much more space for mechanism which connect separated pars of the wings
