| Gear doors closed. Doors where created using the piece cut out of the nacelle as a buck, then vacuum formed styrene over the buck. The styrene was supper thin and flexible, so I built up the insides with many layers of tissue and EZ-Dope. The outsides where filled with spackling compound, sounded, tissued, doped and painted with sanding primer. I still need to add small magnets to keep the doors together when closed. |

| Inside of nacelle looking down. You can see the hinges for the gear doors. The tee pins will be replaced with hinge pins before installing the nacelle on the wing. |

| Did not estimate that it would take over a month of weekends and evenings to get the landing gear sorted, but here it is. Starboard landing gear down. |
