I installed the landing gear last night. The main gear legs went on fine but I'm not really impressed with the way Revell designed the nose gear. A very weak attachment point and the whole assembly is very flimsy when completed. I built a RF-54F for the recon GB a couple of years ago and used the SAC metal gear set which was very sturdy and had wonderful detail. I would highly recommend anyone building this kit to pick one up, its well worth the $14

Still trying to finish before I leave for the weekend but I don't think I'll get the finished pictures before I get back.
Attached the main wheels, drop tanks, speed breaks and flaps. Not much left in the parts bin.

Looks good Glenn. I think you can relax about finishing this weekend as it seems we have an agreement on an extension.
Bottom looks real good Glenn.
