    landing gear done

    after my dad glued on the nose, he thought maybe some noseweight wouldn´t have been bad...sadly nothing mentioned in the instructions and by other modelers...well it turned out to be a tailsitter...
    formed several lead pieces to fit into the wheel well, which luckily is wider on the inside than on the outside
    fixated the pieces with CA glue and covered them with white paint

    A pity you discovered that when nearly all is done, Reinhard @grimreaper
    Hopefully you can fit enough inside that well.

    the model stands on its feet now, put 14g weight into the well

    At least it is not tail sitting now, my friend @grimreaper! The nose bay still looks good!

    the rear/lower end of the airbrakes had a different coloured stripe, went for a darker red
