Hello,
Time to get the landing gear(?) on.... First reinforce the struts by adding another layer and coloring the edges. All 3 pads complete and struts glued in.
Front Pad is glued on.
To prepare for the side gear, I cut out a slot in a piece that will be glued around the strut for some added strength.
This is definitely different from first model I built.

Now, attaching the side pats and struts to the body. I temp taped them to hold while glue dries. Then I put in the reinforcements I made. (no pix ;-( )
Set on a tile for final dry, so the bottoms will be on same plane....

I think I have all sub assemblies done, so on to final assembly! First spar attached.
Ooops, just realized I had not added the bottom reinforcement plate to the wings. So, cut, colored edges and glued them on.
Second spar attached.

Paper models, Making Retirement Great Again!
Tail being assembled.
Engine mounts being glued on.
Found the wing part I had to cut out above, so glued it on top of that... ;-) Wing mounts being glued up and then on the glued to wing.
Engines mounted.
Not bad for a day's work.....
Have fun!

Someday I will learn how to take pictures properly...... Lighting is not good, backgrounds not good, but does document the model for me.
Thanks for going on the journey with me.
