Ugh... n00bs!
Well, as the designer of this, I guess it's my responsibility to tell you steps 21-23.
Put your index finger inside the model, and pull on the folded edge as shown in the inside view of step 18. With your other index finger, push the point inside-out like a closed sink. Then, fold it flat like it was before, but the layer that was inside should now be on the outside, and that flap should be able to move more freely.
Step 5 is just folding a traditional frog base.
Step 9 is described well in>>24937
Step 17 is simple mountain folds to fold the central edges of the whit triangles to match with the upper two edges (long sides) of the upside-down kite shape. On the inside, two squash folds are necessary, and are illustrated by the inside views of the models that are drawn on the right. Once you do step 17, the model will not lie flat until you complete step 19.
Foil, as I call it, would probably sound more familiar if I called it paper-backed-foil. You can buy it at hobby storees or through mail order, and the metal side is usually colored, with the paper left white. The picture shows what the Arwing will look like when folded from this paper. You should either use this paper, some tissue foil, or wetfold the model, because otherwise the model will not hold its shape.
Sorry about the long post, but I hope this helps.
