Thanks guys, next step after taking a closer look at the undercarriage I noticed these have cylinder boots, they also look a little too long. I'll modify them so that they have exposed suspension. Lots of mods required for this kit.
According to the pic the length of the leg was 1614.08mm what is 1.61408 m. In 1/32 scale it is 50.44mm what is ~50mm ( 5cm). I have measured the leg in the 1:32 scale drawing and I got the same 5cm in the lenght. But before you start doing of anything I would suggest checking if the legs fit the wheel bay doors. In the way you may avoid the problem with the later fitting of the doors, bays and other parts of the landing gear to the legs additionally.
Thanks for that info. Your right I was thinking the same thing with the covers. I'll do some measurements and fit. I certainly don't want to fix one problem and create a new one. Cheers for that
