Clean up the landing gear and cross brace with sandpaper, wrap the joints with some copper wire and solder it up. If the holes in your fuselage have opened up then lay it on its side and dump some epoxy in to fill the gap.

Mine works a treat. Haven't been able to bend it since the repair. Let me know if you'd like a picture.
