Here are a couple of underside views. Kit legs were used, but Academy wheels swapped in. Outriggers were leftover from a VEB Tu-2.

The bomb racks were used as mounting points for the gear legs and worked pretty well. Nothing was boxed in, or wells made so it was all done '50's style

Looks like some touchups are in order

How do you lose something the size of the tail in the carpet?

Oh that is awesome ! Love the landing gear configuration and the paint scheme. Would look even better with the original tail
