ORIGINAL: MANFRED

I've seen your Tony before and it is awesome! One of my all time favorite Japanese army aircraft. Do you think it would be possible to enlarge the wheel wells on the 109 to fit a bigger wheel setup?
I beg to differ with the previous answer , Larger wheels are possible Not flown yet.....but, I have built this CMP 109 using 4 3/8 wheels...... It required a bit of trimming but it will work and it actually functions good adding precious scale height and improved taxi stability on a grass field.

I have a set of 4 1/2 scale wheels on order.......... I hope to Squeeze another 1/8 inch out of the well. If not , maybe on another set of wings.
