I want to make internal side out of balsa for the grooves or what ever fairing shape it is for my Nosen Mustang's fixed gear strut.

Take a look at my build. I did a stand off scale door that looks pretty good. No official drawings, but pretty close. Added some inner structure to simulate some structure.

Hello Props..

Hi,

This is exactly what im looking for. Im going to to make one on extremely right. Can you tell me the thickness detentions of the inner structure. I can't do inner door so ill just do outer one.

Status: online 		I used 1/64 th ply to shape the door to the wing. Use achohol to wet and shape it.

Then, I made the standoffs to hold it to the strut. The inner structure is nothing more than balsa strips cut to shape. Sand, coat with thinned epoxy, sand a bit more.. prime and fill.

Status: offline 		Here are a few pics of the P-51D gear doors that maybe of some help for you and others.

Getting a good picture of the inside of the outer / strut covers is not easy with the tires attached

On the inner clam doors is a strip of Stainless Steel intended to stop the tire rotation as the gear is retracted. The tires will intentionally hit that piece stopping the spin and compressing the oleo strut enough so the gear can fit inside. It never gets painted.
Sorry for the poor image quality. They're zoomed in and cropped out of larger pics. Maybe someday soon I'll have a chance to get some close-up detailed pics.
