the next job we have to do is place various triangle stock through out teh fuse abs efor strength and for shapping the fuse sides .now just when you thought it was slowing down again along comes the front landing gear ,one of the reasons i really wanted to model the apache was because i wanted a model with landing gear as opossed to skids for something different and th apache is perfect , so not mauch to tell here other than you need to epoxy teh supplied predrilled blocks into place to hold the landing gear tube in place htese blocks then require triangle stock to be epoxied on top to strengthen them and then you simply slide the gear tube in place


from here allthat is required to finish this part of the fuse is complete the forward transmission bay and canopy support section ,this is also where you find out how the transmission bay and canopy are held in place , using recessed teeth in the chanel ,ie the transmission bay and canopy have teeth that simply slide into these then a bolt is used to at a couple of secure points and there you have it , really simple and very secure ,in teh next pic you can see the chanels

and jumping ahead a bit heres the transmission bay showing the teeth that slot in ,again everything fits perfect
