                        Will be picture-fying over the weekend for sure. I think I may need to grab some more sheet styrene for the skin of this thing, I'm thinking of using a double layer of the thinnest I can find, so I can wrap it around the leading edge.

                        ps.. Vance.. the landing gear ,, nose wheel was cannibilised from from a GRIEF, HE-177??..I think..? and the main gear were 109's...( IIRC )

                        ~giggle~ he said crap....

                        Haven't brought myself any He-177 style grief, may still need to go looking for that one. I probably have some 109 spares though.

                        Lookin' good buddy. Glad to see some pictures of the landing gear as I'll have to cannibalize something from the spares collection, and then modify it anyway. I'll have to get creative... or pose it "in flight"....

                        Now I've got to go hide somewhere before the commandant catches me lurking in here.
