Because of the new wheel bays, I've had to modify the kit undercarriage to fit.
The nose leg got a V shaped top end, as on the original, and a hydraulic strut, as well as having the wheel axle narrowed to more realistic dimensions. Resin Lightning nose wheels were fitted. Also, the cylindrical thing was moved offset the centreline. It's not exactly accurate, but it's better than it was. I just need to add the landing lights.

The main legs were stripped of ancillary struts as the kit has them completely wrong. The leg was drilled and pinned then fitted, and the first strut refitted in the right place. The other strut was replaced with a hydraulic actuator from the spares box. I just need to add the resin Lightning main wheels, slightly further apart than the kit ones, as they are a bit bigger...

I'm hoping these spindly long legs will support the weight.
