I think their normal position is "retracted", most pics show them retracted:

But most models have them deflected 🙂
I like them deflected, to be honest!
But, is the internal detail good? Otherwise, you may glue them retracted, my friend @lis.

@fiveten I glued rudders in standard position. PS. Just recived new super metallic colors.

This build of yours is looking very nice. I have not ever used Mr Color before, so I can't comment about how good they are. But from what I have read about them, they are very good and spray well too. Now that my supply of Model Master enamels is running out of some colors, I will have to find an alternative paint.

I'm sure that our friend Spiros @fiveten
knows what he is talking about. His work is also very good.

I look forward to your next posting.

I have two more puzzles. Is the nameplate correct from the decal set, or does it need to be replaced with something spare. And the second puzzle is dark gray sidewalks. In my opinion, they were not used in early painting. This is confirmed by e.g. rising decals sets, where early painting does not have these stripes. At the moment Kate dryes, to next coat of clear. For hinomarus I used Micro Set, and Mirco Sol.

Your decalling is wonderful, @lis!
Ad for your puzzles, we all come into such situations during our builds. And it is so great to research!
Congratulations so far!

@jmillan @fiveten @wkubacki thank You! I addes two decals that I forgot set, which were in the place of folding the wings. I hope I found information about data plate.
