So...if you have given the fuselage parts plenty of time to setup properly,
we can move on to the Rear Wheels.
This takes a bit patience.
The supporting structure for the Wheel "pods" is just thin cut strips of card.
I created it as one piece to make it simpler, but you still need to cut it out carefully,
and then score (and fold) the plates that attach at the wheel hubs.
You can attach second layers of card to the lower struts if you want to strengthen them.
You could also coat them in glue to stiffen them.
The Wheel pods (and wheel discs) themselves are three layers
...inner, outer and a blind layer to add some scale thickness.
Cut them out neatly...glue them together...trim the edges as necessary...colour the edges.
Don't forget to glue the hub spacer plates onto each wheel pod.
Make sure they line up horizontally.
...
The attachment points for the wheel struts are marked, but to be honest I did this twice, and each time things moved
around a little bit. Depending on how you cut out the strut part, how you score and fold, and where you make your first
connection, the precise fit can vary a little bit.
So, use the marks as reference, and attach the strut part as close as possible.
I started at the bottom rear, where the long strut is centered on the fuselage.
...
Try to keep all the struts straight, attach them all at the correct locations.
I think its a good idea to dry fit each one...compare them side to side, and decide exactly where each will attach.
...or just stumble ahead gluing willy nilly....like I did the first time. It looked more like the Eiffel tower.
You can also attach the vertical stabilizer at this time...or any time.
Just fold over the stabilizer part and glue it flat.
Line up the striping and mount it on the center line on top of the fuselage.
...
Once the struts are all secure, you can attach the Wheel pods.
Just glue them in place, matching up the wheel hub plates.
Make sure the wheel hub plates and wheel pods are properly aligned horizontally.
Let the glue dry fully before you set the car on its wheels!
...
Last thing to do is attach the front winglets.
Just fold and glue, trim the edges and edge colour.
These are very small parts, so be patient.
