Adding Hogan/Herpa wheels to Flight Miniatures Models

Jboulin94 · 06-27-2007, 09:27 PM

Well, I have an Emirates 777-200(OC) Flight Miniatures which I have added updated decals. Now, to get that full effect, I want to add some landing gear. Can anyone tell me how? Thanks!

First, cut out the wheel wells. Then let us know when you done with that.

Yeah, but how do you cut out the wheel wells?

Bill-ay · 06-28-2007, 10:52 AM

A little saw, or a really sharp hobby knife.

also if you have a herpa/ hogan 777 try to measure the hight. i have a flight mineatures delta md-90 and hawaiian 717 with herpa 737 gear on them

or you can just cut down the gear and glue it directly to the body =P.

a Dremel is the best tool you can get for that and add that with an aluminum oxide or silicon carbide abrasive head. an engraving cutter head would be great too. thats what i used on my flight miniatures b738.

good luck! you have a high chance of seriously destroying or making your model look real bad! the only reason why i was able to accomplish it was because i didnt need to save the livery on the jet. leaving me the freedom to putty up the unclean cuts and add a primer over the jet. remember this project?..
