Main gear struts
Here are the main parts including the pivot made of wood dowel and metal pins that will go thru the front and rear spar.
 the back pin in place prior to snipping it   and now with a yet unfinished wheel  and a little retract action ( just for fun. I will glue in place though )  strut is glued    both struts on ( use super glue for a strong bond ).  and the final details on the struts   Isaac

Wheels
The wheels are laminated card that is sanded a bit to shape. I used the laser cut parts for this ( easier than cutting circles, but not really a big deal ).
first, a trial fit to see how they fit before I paint them  the initial parts  then add the inner hub which includes the brakes. notice their orientation.  The outboard wheel hubs will be attached to the door attached to the strut, but only glued once the wheels are glued to the struts.  Wheels are on ( use super glue to make a strong bond ). the outer hub and door are now glued on the wheel    and the last door attached to the wing bay   now the complete view   nose wheel next Isaac

Nose wheel
The nose wheel is of a spoke design. Thus you need to remove the spaces in between to make it look good.
 The best way to make sure that the spokes are strong is to insert one side and use super glue on the inside to coat the spokes and attach to the tire. Then add the center hub ( mine is a wood dowel wrapped in the kit part and drilled to accept the metal axle )   It is completed. The small amount of super glue which I have on the side of the tire will be repainted.  and on the strut.     I love it. Nice! Isaac
