SimonCornes Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I am finishing off a part started kit fitted with the Aries gear bays and the Aries instructions are not that clear about exactly where the pivot rod that closes the two main gear doors via pushrods actually locates. The Trumpeter instructions don't help either and I don't have the Trumpeter bay parts to refer to. I can't see where the rod locates - there must be a bearing or bracket at each end but the very nice Aries casting doesn't seem to have any suitable brackets cast into it. Can anyone shed a bit of light onto this please? Many thanks Simon BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 This build uses the Aires bays - maybe the finished pics might help? https://www.largescaleplanes.com/articles/article.php?aid=1825 Tony BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Hi Simon, This the Aires Wheel Well Set for the A-7. I believe that the Main Gear Door control are the "same". Barry LSP_K2, BiggTim, Tony T and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has the same markings but doesn't look as good! The photos are really useful and I'll be printing a few off! BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only a third of the way through an F-8J from the Hancock (Zotz decals, Fisher windshield, G-factor legs, Aires cockpit and a shedload of Eduard etch) and, apart from the raised shark's gills on the nose and lack of the ventral hold-back trough + bar and early 1970s DECM bumps, it's a Trumpeter Team A creation. To be enjoyed. Tony BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
