Thanks Don! Once I got the geometry correct for the gear, it wasn't all that difficult to make the gear out of carbon tubes. It was a bit tedious, but with some fine dremel bits and some patience they came out great.

More progress:

The gear doors and gear are now finished. To weather the parts I just brush on black acyrlic (I think) paint, then sponge off. Then I fix it with acrylic spray. I've attached all the little details to the wings and fuselage, and drawn out all the lines I need to rivet and groove. -stef
