Excellent, I can't wait. Hey, How difficult were the gear up conversions that you did? Did it require much more than removing the gear and replacing the door? Did you have to do any extra fabrication?


The FM MiG-29 conversion wasn't too bad. I only had to fabricate a small rectangle to fill the void between two of the aft bay doors
(it's the small white rectangle that you can barely make it out in the pic below).


The Su-27 was a lot more complicated. I had to cut part of one of the aft bay doors off and fabricate two complicated shapes to fill the voids left when the doors were glued in place. In the pic below, the white door was fabricated from sheet styrene. I haven't yet fabricated the piece that's going to fill the void between the fuselage & the rear door.
