Thanks guys. Its definitely been a long road getting this far, and I know there's a ton more to do.
I started working on the landing gear yesterday, and thats going to be a whole project in of itself. The mold lines on all the parts are just horrid. I'm almost tempted to work on scratch building the landing gear & wheels, just so that I dont have to spend the time cleaning all the mold seams off, but I dont know if I want to do that. I may see if one of the aftermarket companies have while metal or brass landing gear for this kit and go from there.

You know, the AM parts would be better but they have to be cleaned also .
Most of this is hidden by gear doors when everything is together.

Yea, I've thought about that too. The landing gear legs dont seem to be too bad, when compared to just how bad the wheels are. I've thought about fabbing up my own, but I just dont know that I want to attempt that, considering how much weight they have to support. Thats one reason why I'd kinda like some brass or white metal legs, just to support the weight.

That would be good. Don't know if they are available.....lots of them though
Oh, you build armor though. Might not be so bad then....

Haha, at least w/ the armor the wheels are a lot larger and easier to handle, haha.
