This is for the Viper model

Being a landing gear fanatic like I am, here's a pointer for you. You know the flat skid plates that were on the Vipers and were it's landing gear? Well just make them part of your piston for each gear (it goes strut - piston - wheel), and make the wheel invisible so it'll look like it's actually sitting on the skid (neato!)

If you already knew this, then continue building :P

Actually, each skid had 3ish wheels of about 4 inches in diameter that poked through the skid, but I'd still need to put an invisible wheel on the gear anyways. Also, thanks for the reminder, being absent minded, I almost forgot to model the gear.

My plans are to do the gear ala B-17.
