Thanks. And now to complete the landing gear...
I formed the shape of the undercarriage legs (following the provided template in the kit) out of .8 mm brass wire. I then tightly rolled the paper leg parts around the brass wire to form their cylindrical shape, glueing as I went. The shock absorber links were the most difficult part of this assembly, because they were tiny parts made up of more even tinier parts. My eyes hurt afterwards, but they are done. I painted the internal shaft of the shocks with a chrome paint to give an illusion of stainless steel, and finally glued the wheels and landing gear coverings in place. Now, to give the bird its newly constructed legs...
