How do you edit the thread title? I completely missed the 4 asterisks.

Dale that is a great build my friend, well done

 

[dneid]

Thanks, Geo. Looks like Wurger corrected my lack of asterisks though.

 

[dneid]

Crap, just noticed I left the tape on the nose glass. That is pulled off now.

 

[Crimea_River]

Nicely done Dale. I'll pretend the tape isn't there.

Thought something looked odd.....

Good job Dale.

 

[Gnomey]

Lovely work!

Shouldn't the main wheels be faced inwards on the Me 410? Lovely work though.

 

[Airframes]

Nicely done Dale.
But I'm afraid Igor is right - the main wheels should face inwards.

 

[Crimea_River]

Oopsie. Missed that.

Realllly sweet.

Well, I just finished correcting my self inflicted gunshot. I am took a single picture to share with the gear corrected. Do I need to add the additional finished pictures?

 

[Crimea_River]

I'd suggest you delete the first set of pics in the finished thread, add a note to refer to the new pics and post them at the end of the thread. Make sure there's no more tape anywhere!

Replaced photos in the original post. Overall, correcting the gear was not that hard. Just drilled holes in the legs and hub and used guitar strings (G-string) to ensure a solid joint.
