Progress slowed down, since I now move attention to smaller things. Dry-fitted the canopy, and it seems to fit well despite the fuselage mods. I also decided to upgrade the landing gear - instead of the OOB parts I will implant a complete arrangement from an Italeri 1:72 MiG-37, and I will add covers, too. With the wings and the engine nacelles added, I found the original wheels to be a bit small - and I wanted more ground clearance, for the rotating nacelles and for potential ordnance carried ventrally. Thanks to the wider front wings I will be able to add probably two pairs of pylons under the inner wing sections, too, and I will retain the OOB 30mm gun, because it fits conceptually well. Sensors will be added under the nose and on the roof (hence the choice of the Italeri Ka-52, it actually depicts an interim layout of the helicopter, the final sensor configuration differed considerably), and the thimble radome was added because it is part of the illumination radar for 9M120 Ataka anti-tank missiles (or as a potential search radar), as seen on the Mi-28.
