Dear Bob.

Excellent painting work.
Constructive criticism: the landing gear is very straight, it should be more open and forward, please take a look at 109 photos, anyway a great job

Thanks Luiz, they do look very straight compared to the photo Chris posted. Thing is these kits have VERY positive location tabs, blocks almost, not much wiggle room.

Cant you chuck a clear sprue in a drill and then file it down to size and shape, drill a hole and insert it? Ir another variation is a tube. Following picture for discussion purposes only.

The geometry on the 109 gear has nothing how you would think it would go . Mostly about fitting into the wing.

Remember that Hurricane the IPMS. judges did not like ? It was because I had spent a lot of time working on pausing the gear correctly :idonno . Even the flashlight couldn't help them...

I think the tubing for the antenna is the easiest Bob :coolio Thanks James. Good references .

Cheer, Christian B)
