Default flight-model.com spitfire

Received a Spitfire 60 2 stroke or 70 four stroke arf as a gift. Is anyonr familier with this plane by flight-model.com. It is made in China. looks great in box, but paint flakes off at the slightest touch. Also it came with retracts but the lg and it's mount is too far back in the wing and not even close to scale . It would look great on a p-47, but not on a Spitfire. I do not understand why anyone would go to the trouble to maufacture an arf and not include at least close to scale gear. Also I have noticed many arf's where the lg looks too small for the size of model. I think I will close up the lg openings. and cut into the wing and install the lg in a scale location and in a fixed position. Logair
