well in fact i used a "wooster" 1:200 model of Air Mauritius when i flew on board last year. I then bought some sets of Hogan gears after a few trials, i succeded in fitting the gears onto the model.

nah looks decent to me! so did you do some holes first and then put the gears in? or just mated it to the body?

well in fact, i was really lucky....Air mauritius had these model done with "front gear door" present on each model. SO i had only to remove the small piece of plastic and glue the front landing hogan gear in it...
For the main undercarriage, it was more complicated and i just modified the hogan landing gears and glued everything in place....

These Hogan landing gears are fantastic, i am already thinking of customizing some more 1:200 wooster model than doesn't exist...

Great job with the landings gears and it's a nice model! I'd like to get myself an Air Mauritius A343 too. BTW, what's the registration on the model?

Thanks and yes, it's fantasy registration as all MK A343s have a registration of 3B-NA* or 3B-NB*. Still, it's a nice model!
