Too hot, too hot!!

the second main gear glued today , the first two days ago i glued. The main wheels weighted because only the rear gears touch the ground during cargo operations

Now left to paint silver parts to complete these gears

At the next

But you're making good progress :) Those landing gear really look great.
Looks great bur weaks.. Just studying with other modeller friends (into Italian forum, the only other where I put the gigant wip ) how to turn the gears stronger to be capable to tollerate the gigant weight for more than few minutes :DH:
It's clear that these gears can't support the weight with an oob build, pins and gluing surfaces are too weak
