Default RE: TF Spitfire Build (Gold Kit)

ray, this is what i have for the finished product. as you can see, i didn't do any detailing with it. the wheel well is slightly elliptical due to the retraction angle of the gear. i glassed the inside of the well with the rest of the model. also, i pretty well enclosed the mounting flange because of the way i installed the gear. i didn't want to cut a slot in the ply mounting plate (weakening the plate) for the air nipple so that meant that the retract body had to be installed while i glued in the ply mounting plates (make sense?). of course, that means if i have to pull the retract body out it will require major surgery to the wing.
