Re: CW A-7 modified nose gear

few pics on how to get the A-7's nose gear to sit correctly.
you need to remove the area of plastic on the top of the gear bay that hold's the front strut in place then file that area flat.
also file some of the area that hold's the second strut flat[ie rear of the box].
keep checking as you dont need to remove much about 1mm max,your gear bay should now fit better allowing the doors to be flush with the fuselage.
i will be passing this info to yoshi.

Exactly this was what I did already to my VF-86 Corsair last week. It was quite easy to find out what had to be done.

It wasn´t the only slight change: although I do normally not change anything with models that have an LE certificate, I just could not keep myself from repainting the MER´s release cartridges and the bombs´ fuses straight after the Hasegawa Weapons Set I instructions. Moreover, the Shrike and Sidewinder Missiles´ exhausts are black now and the latters´warheads are silver now.

Only small changes, which count a lot in my eyes...
