Well, I'm ready for painting--I think.....if anybody sees anything glaring here, shout it out before I commit! ![Smile [:)]](/emoticons/icon_smile.gif)
Here's the finished cockpit before I sealed it up...

The finishing of the landing gear started with two parallel .040 strips glued to an .040 X .010 strip wrapped around the leg there....

And then two bars of .040 rods to support them.

I can't believe I got them all to sit evenly!
Then, I fashioned some springy things to go on them like shock absorbers or something....hey, I don't know how this stuff works!?
I decided to keep the kit's "shoes"--the landing pads themselves.I'm just trying to make a decent representation out of this model, nnot necessarily use it in the remade series! LOL!
I added some mounting strips to the cockpit attachment, and to the tops of the girders joining the body to the upper girder...

Well, that's where I've taken this build so far, as far as correcting and detailing. I'm pretty happy with the improvements I've made in making it a decent representation of an Eagle.
Next up; priming and painting....
Any comments or suggestions are more than welcomed! Anybody out there?!? Alpha?
