USAF F-4 Question - Folded Wings


Recommended Posts

I’ll be building a Vietnam War Phantom (probably a C, small chance it might be a D) in the future.  Question - how common was it to have the wings folded while they were on the ground?    I recall seeing some pics recently but can’t find them.    
 

Was this a somewhat common practice?  I think it would add some visual interest and it would definitely help with minimizing the amount of shelf space needed. 
 

Thoughts?

And it looks like a bit of repair on the left folded wing upper surface.

Check out the instructions from Fundekals Op Bolo set.   The amount of weird paintwork on early F-4’s in Vietnam is amazing.

Interesting camo pattern on the left wing!  I had no idea the paintwork on those jets was so diverse.
