I installed the mains tonight and will do the nose tomorrow as that one is gonna take some time.

Installing the mains was pretty straight-forward. I did have to reconfigure the Robart 630's so the cylinders would face forward when the gear is retracted.

A little trimming of the gear opening lip is required to clear the struts, but it only took a few moments. I've outlined the trimmed area in red:
