    hi JESSE

    no secret....,for first i Painted the rear section of, screnn in trasparent green and blue(gunze),3 coats of color,later, when it is well dried, I sealed the edges with black, and the back of the screen with a very dark gray(xf-54)doing so will prevent the light makes it too transparent

    How-in-the-hell does that nose gear retract? Is the top on a trolley that moves to the rear???

    the first movement of the carriage to the front ... only the lower part, however, because there is a junction on the main harnesses that come down from the bay cart ... executed this movement .... is retracted back and the that's it .....

    I did not invent anything .... it's real ..... and if you look on youtube you can find various videos where you can see how it moves the nose gear....check!!

    sorry for my bad english and ciao ciao -GIO-
