Thank Smurf . I do too, but it is a very deceptive kit .
The landing gear has a good many parts and all are very fiddly and fragile .
Not sure how many time I broke something loose trying to assemble it . In part, the geometry of things and all the gear door pieces.
Never mind the items the kit overlooked. Just gave up the idea of adding them on after wrestling the other issues.

Another beauty Chris
James
Thanks James . After two to three days of sitting I picked this up and the right gear was askew
so I loosen it and repositioned it ( again ).So now I'll try to repair the damage and look at the rockets .
Sorry, but crooked landing gears give me the crepes
( a little French humor intended )Really considering a snowy belly landing scene here.

Thanks for your kind words Laurance but from here it feels more like the hard headedness of an under achiever .

Funny you should mention that landing gear.
Before abandoning the idea of adding more detail to it, I was studying pictures of the real deal and I can't figure how they got that thing to fold up.
Must be overlooking a component somewhere .
Even the little doors ( flippers ) have a cable assembly ( not shown ) to make them faire with the wing :frantic

You've come a long way with this little bird ... She's sitting Purdy ...
Thanks for your kind words . It's mainly smoke and mirrors but I'm still working on it.
Maybe some Vodka ?

Not a problem Gary. I had sort of put it aside so as to work on the Skua , Causing it to be burried in the blah, blah , blah...
Now I'm thinking on the Skua canopy while wrestling with this one :hmmm

Think it would be inherent with that rig.
