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?

For USAF Phantoms, not very common.  Usually they were only folded if they needed to reduce the span for parking them close together, like in a hanger.

Yikes!  Reminds me of the shot of the BUFF with no vertical fin or rudder................strange looking in mid air.

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.
