Northrop N.63 in 1/72

Obviously it is a tail-sitter like the other ones.  Question, where does the landing gear retract?

There's one strut right on the tail end of the fuselage, and balancer struts on the ends of the tip tanks and the end of the big ventral fin.

From the documentation the tail end of the fuselage 'collapses' and one of the drawings shows it just like that, with a concertina effect over the last foot or so, but I'm not sure if there's a wheel there or not. If there are actual balancer wheels they are very tiny as they don't show in the drawings so I may just fit struts.

It may be if I can get some Milliput to set......... 

My local art shop suddenly closed a week ago and I've not found another source for new M'put at the moment.
