I was surprised at the good fit. The fillet is a one piece wrap around part that covers the top and bottom of the wing.

Isaac,
She looks great with the wings and tail attached. A great looking kit. Gary

Landing gear prep
Wheels first
The wheels are laminated card which I cut using a circular cutter. They are slightly oversized as they will be shaped to size later Here are the rest of the gear parts This is the sketch for the wheels. Please note that the nose gear actuator shown here is behind the strut. That is wrong. The gear retracts forward, so the actuator needed to be in front of the strut. wheels are shaped and ready for painting wheels are painted using Tamiya paint Isaac

Landing gear
the struts are installed first
Next are the wheels. nose gear Make sure that the struts and wheels provide the proper stance on the ground. This plane has a slight nose up, so the main gear is somewhat lower. I have seen other Mig-15 and 17 builds that show a tall stance on the wheels which is wrong. Isaac
