Hello, just some little work.....

Then I started working on the main landing gear, first made of plastic

But I realised it was going to be very weak, so after thinking a lot I decided to try with metal, in spanish called "laton" kind of bronze (think so)

Of course no detail, that is going to be added of plastic

I am going to use an old pair of wheels, because I don´t feel able to make them from scratch, I know they are not the same ones as in the real plane, but at least they are the correct size.

Ok ok, I know, I have to paint them again......

Absolutely amazing build you have on the go here Gato... WOW! Your work with the brass is very good. VERY GOOD. The attention to detail, the work put in, the things I'm learning from just reading and looking at the pictures in your thread. You Sir, are a natural!

Hi everybody, thanks for all your kind words. I haven`t been able to continue building this little plane because I was moving from one city to another, and all my house was in boxes. On friday I recieved my new house and now I am opening, ordering, cleaning etc, etc ,etc.

I expect to start building again as soon as possible and show you the progress.

See you soon!!!! :D
