So just wanted to tell you that i'm gonna make a custom livery on this one It's low key reference to my "SP Aircraft Company", basically it will have my company's logo and a custom finish..... Warbirds Squadron XD. (basically i added random numbers on the back fins without knowing that it's the squadron number and since i'm lazy i decided to make the livery custom :P)

That rod is connected to the landing gear with a "reverse shock" mechanism

it's a tricky contraption, i'll try to make the main gear like that too.
