Exclamation Main wheel doors

Here are the doors. Since the original has no wheels, the doors are a combination of the wing door part, the housing external and a poor cut and paste inner section from Zarkov A-4N.

However...

the real doors had bulges externally to clear the struts and wheels.

I took the easy way here and only added the external fairing on the door without the inner section bulged out.




here is a set of pics showing the doors in a closed position
