As this is not motorized there's a small pin hole to open and close the pad door using a paper clip |

There's only ... |

The parts are redied for the next two pieces |
The doors for the upper landing gear well |

The piece of string in the photo above this was used to make the pseudo spring above the foot pad |
Thanks to a 60 degree day in January I got four landing gear well pieces primed |
