Closing in on the finish! Wheels attached and angled. From the photos, the angle of the MLG looks too straight, it is better in real life but they probably could have been a bit better. At least they are equal in all the other axis:

Exhaust stains with a well diluted Tamiya Brown/NATO black mix:

The spring is from fine copper electrical wire wound about the smallest drill bit I had. Just the inner doors and some oil stains to go and it will be done:

Finish line crossed. These photos show the MLG angles a little better. Light oil and fuel stains, boarding ladder and MLG inner doors and supports. Into the cabinet and onto the next....
