It is one of Aaron's designs, he doesn't add landing gear to many of his kits, please keep this in mind, he has addressed this in other threads

This model has a landing gear included , unfortunately I scaled model down without checking just how small it will get. Gear ended up far too small for my grubby fingers to work with. Entire model has been a challenge at times due to size.

Since CF--100 build I looked up other Oddball Productions models I purchased from Murph and It looks like he generally made models much smaller in those days. Current models a good bit larger .

Yes he does... this was one of his earlier designs before he started including them. Safe to say his landing gears are simple and not meant to be scale. Just good enough for the model to stand on.

I've always included landing gear. They're simple, and designed more to support the model than look scale accurate, though I do give nods to trying to get it to look like what the real plane has. Unless you're displaying the model upside down, not many people look at the undercarriage anyway.

Attractive model of an attractive airplane.

exquisite model. Well done.
Kudos to both designer and builder.
