Thanks guys.

The wheels and retracts from sierra look nice, but since this is a semi scale model, all just keep it a "low budget" plane, and just do what it takes to make it a reliable plane.
I will be getting larger wheels, and making mods to the fuselage to make them fit, as the stock wheels just make it look terrible

The plastic is EXTREMLY brittle/crisp and fragile, so I had to heat up the plastic with hot tap water, and cut out the parts in the sink under the water....otherwise it would just shatter.
I usualy scribe the plastic with a knife, and bend and break off the plastic, but this did not seem to work out too well here.......so I used the sizzers all the way.

The wings dont seem that big at first, but when the fuselage is in between, this little cat realy isn`t that little at all once assembled

Im very pleased with the fit of the parts. The wing and tail tubes fit realy well. Even the dowl holes lign up, which is unusual
I also have the spitfire 110", and the wing tubes are a terrible fit, and the overall quality does not match this bearcat. The spitfire was probably an early production run.
