F18diamond,
OK, good to hear You pick up the project again.
I have to stop a few weeks also due to an aero tow meeting this weekend in Belgium, followed by 2 weeks of slope soaring in Switzerland. Bóóóring life
(I retired a month ago......)
I completed the nose doors now and touched up things. Shortened the protruding sides of the hinges a bit. Central rod will be there until project is nearly finished, for easy removal.
One correction to my statement that the original has the same setup, I looked again and it seems they are flush with the fuze. But that is because the nose door is not double curved as in the model. So my solution is a bit off scale, but the small price offers way better operation on the model.
Btw the 2 smaller nose gear doors are using offset hinges.
