Come on, Ron! You can do it!
Yes, the landing gear is a big pain, but with a gazillion pictures from here and there, you can get an idea of how to build it. Time is required tough.
Here are some of my references, just in case:
A-10 Photos - Page 1
A-10 Thunderbolt II Photo Gallery
Aircraft Resource Center
Also, I posted a couple of pics of the main landing gear on my blog, and you can have also an idea of them.
Waiting for your pics, Ron.
