Photo etched propellers? How about the wheels?
I would need a magnifier for this!

What is nano scale?
The landing gears are included in the PE. But do I really need them? Especially the "Val" plane needs completely different wheel covers. I think I leave the landing gears as they are - theres plenty of other stuff to do.
