This step will start with the tail wheel before assembling the landing gear.
-
1. Testor's Rubber small bottle.
Now to start to assemble the main gear strut assembly. Starting with the strut and oleo scissor.
Then the retraction actuators.
Then the landing gear assembly is placed into the wheel bay. Very good contact points that provides a solid contact points to assure longevity.
Next to attach the gear bay doors. 2 for each side. Contact points are very good here as well.
I will be using True Details resin wheels for the Nick. First the hubs are painted Vallejo Aluminum.
Next using Eduards hub masks to cover the wheels.
I use Nato Black to paint the tires.
in the meantime the landing gear is set and ready to have the wheels installed.
Using Gorilla Glue to attach the wheels to the gear stub axles. Flat/weighted spot level with the deck.
Next up the antennas and props.
More to follow.
