Great job! Love seeing the "pilot" operating the controls. Really adds to pose.

Thanks for the comments and looking in on this lonnnnnng time build.
Pilot is just taking off............ or turning final...
gear is coming up or going down whichever
but a banking turn to the left.......
Deleted misinformation.
Because I'm not a very attentive builder.
I make Plennnnty of mistakes, this one was the biggest!

So after doing That!
I found Swinging the gear is Not that easy on the Tamiya 1/32nd "D"!!
The gear swing is right on from the kit......
If it doesn't............................ it's because you have the gear ON THE WRONNNNNG BLOODY SH!TE SIDE!!!!!!!!

Okay, here we go................................
So I have used a 1.7mm drill, at an angle an forced my way thru,
Then a 1.3mm file, the closest without going too bloody big to increase the angle of the screw hole.
I'm using a piece of rod, tapered so I can thread it into the nut in the wing for that little crew there.
So BELAY all this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was my mistake!

Dunnnnnnn!
I'm happy!! Dum and happy, pffft.
Gear legs are on the WRONG sides.
AND rotated, reversed.
What a "cockup"

So been atit this morning, last night as well.
Got the radio antennae in.................
Fabbed a couple of pitots, one for each, this one and Merlin's Magic.
Then got one leg mounted. Door attaches after along with access covers on the wings.
Not much left. Just some way to hang the bugger in the cabinet. Holes and fishing line!!!
Those wheels should be on THIS side of the wheel wells!!!!
