Gear details
Now add the rest of the details to the struts
   and now the doors. The main gear doors are sort of crazy with a very large section that covers the fuselage dangling too close to the ground. They should have attached it to the fuselage instead to allow for good ground clearance ( especially snow on unprepared fields ).             That's it below. Isaac

She looks great on her legs (and the tail isn't dragging).

Very impressive build. Excellent photo documentation and explanation of your modifications to the kit. It's been a pleasure to follow your progress.

I am glad you are enjoying this build and my technical in depth format. Hopefully it will be a guide for future builders of this model and similar ones. Isaac

Wing fences
Like many of its Soviet contemporaries, this plane had wing fences to control the outward air flow over the wing.
There are two fences per wing  and installed. Good fit     Isaac
