Yup... the main gear is reversed... other than that, very nice work!jkim wrote:Looks great Duke. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I THINK that the landing gear is reversed. The doors should be on the inner side, not the outer. Hopefully, removal and replacement won't be an issue but with all of those parts you mentioned... I'm nervous this is not the case.

Re: Commission Build for Bruce Cooper
Thanks for the compliments guys. And thank you John for pointing out my error. I will see what I can do to fix this. I might just have to remove the doors and place them on the other side, but I'll see what i can do.
I just knew something was going to screw up on this!
Now I'll probably break five other things as I try to fix this! 
Stay tuned, I'll see what I can do.

Re: Commission Build for Bruce Cooper
Wheel hubs need to be on the outside so removal of the legs would be necessary. Small chance... were the gear glued in with CA glue? If so... debonder could weaken the glue bond. Hey... you could probably do the same with Tamiya Extra Thin. Put a dab of TET and let the glue soften before pulling the legs out.

Re: Commission Build for Bruce Cooper
Stuart, thanks for that pic. There must be something in the glue that makes us do things like that.... 
John, these gear were glued in with Tamiya glue so I'll try using the Extra Thin to loosen them up before removal. I'm still concerned about breaking at least five parts though; there's no place to really hold this thing now.
Stay tuned.
