Looks interesting. I know this mechanism from a F-15 model I have but I think the radius of the gear would have to be too large (it would show when wings are opened).
I just searched for a youtube video showcasing the Hasbro model and I think their mechanism is a connection to the middle switch moving the wings.
For now I will focus on just getting the wings to move at all
I might work on the connected movement of the wings on a 2.0 version though.
