Default RE: Nitro Models Kangaroo Mods - Sheeting

funny how things can end up working out. Earlier I came up with about 5 options for the nose gear door/opening. I ended up going with option 6

I just attached my piece of "fiberstuff" to the bottom of the fuse over the opening with screws, and cut it out just enough for the wheel to come out. It was simple, and Ive seen similar on other fast planes, so I reckon it wont cause too much drag. I plan to paint it to match as close as I can to the bottom after I finish the monokote. (the pattern may cross the cover somewhere, havent crossed that bridge yet :P )

I also sheeted in the Main retract wells with balsa, as I wasnt able to get the plastic ones to fit, and they didnt match the yellow anyway
