Re: any ideas on keeping the gullwings up
Provide a recess in the door/roof seem to house a thin hyperdermic or sewing needle that you've hinged to the roof part. As you open the doors prop the needle up into a notch in the door. This should keep the doors up with their weight keeping the needle in place.
You could also attach cams to the doors that work against a flat spring that will force the doors open and closed. |

When you're done with the model, glue it to the underside of a shelf, upside down. Gravity should help then.
Seriously though, I'm not too sure. I doubt there's a simple solution to this one, not involving springs and/or physics. |

Are those doors metal? You can try making shocks like the Mercedes gullwings used.
