You can look here at some examples of some landing gear bays, like....
F-4E of GPM
landing gear bay for my KFIR that my friend YARON made.
MD-450 OURAGAN landing gear bays i made for my friend.
and the engine landing gear bay of my VAUTOUR 1:50 scale.
The additions of the pipes and components together with weathering and dirt, greatly improves the appearance.....And it definitely fits the dirty look of my F-16A.
