Glad there's a wheels up option

Throwing the new mold Airfix Zero together, just a quick real world build to get out of a funk. Planned on wheels down, but looks like this one will be hanging from the ceiling. Inner gear door strut is short-shot, not easy to repair. Closed doors have been glued in place, and thanks to Airfix for that option.

I do appreciate how Air fix offer that option on so many new kits. I overwhelmingly build gear down but the single piece, perfect fit gear doors are perfect for masking gear bays.
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

Yes, Airfix can't be lauded enough for offering a fitting gear-up option.  :cheers: :bow:
Wish more manufacturers would do it that way. It's not even much real estate (sprue-wise) going into these covers.

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?
