Few problems. First I want an Israeli F-16...not a problem you say, just buy a Witty? *sigh* If only it were that easy. My problem lies in the fact that I can't just buy a Witty because of the fact that an airplane with its wheels down on the ground in both combat and on my shelf is worthless practically. It just doesn't work for me. I am currently vacillating about biting the bullet on a buying a Witty Israeli F-16 (I almost don't care which one) bent on modifying the undercarriage by removing the gear and cutting/hacking/etc. the gear doors off the plane and then gluing them right back on. I've seen pics of a modified Su-27 from Gaincorp and it was a bit rough in spots but nothing some patience couldn't remedy. What I need from the esteemed folks here at this forum is rather simple...is what I want to do possible? Are the gear doors metal and part of the casting and therefore not even removeable? That's the biggest issue that I can think of. Making the landing gear disappear shouldn't be to hard. I think. Any help on this endeavor would be greatly appreciated especially if you have your own success/failure stories.

P.S. I also am curious about the rest of the Witty line now that I think about it...so if you have any input there as well, please share. F-14's aren't of to much interest simply because I've been spoiled by Century, F-15's are next after the F-16 but they don't look quite as nice as Dragon's if you ask me, and as for Hornets....eeeeeh...mixed bag. I could sway either way.
