Default RE: Building the Mick Reeves <span class=

I have also installed the gear and the associated formers in the fuselage now. This took a little thought, as the nose gear retract must be fitted from the bottom, yet will not fit through the openings for the gear doors. In the end, I elected to cut the gear doors exactly to their scale size, then cut a wider section out on either side of the rear gear door. The additional cut-outs will be removable and mounted via some poly-ply screws and tabs. (Pics later)

Here are a couple of pics of the model sitting on its gear for the first time:
