Cool Landing gear

The landing gear on this plane is very short and keeps the plane low to the ground. Not much is showing as it sits on the ground.
some reference pics:

Note:
there may be a debate if the strut and wheel hubs should be metallic or white color, but the reference I have seen including an in flight picture shows it metallic.

I decided to add a very simple gear to the model. It consists of laminated card stock wheels, metal struts with paper wrapped around them, and I used the model's cut out doors in the extended position. I have no files to show. It was all on the go building.


Here is the key to the gear support: a wooden dowel used as an axle
