The landing gear has the main carriage but no support beam for either side. All other flanker kits have two strut landing gear. I posted a copy of the instructions that came with the kit and I have to say they are, to a great extent, useless. There are no numbers next to the parts so I have to hold the tree next to the parts inventory to figure out what is what. There are a lot of parts that fell off the tree, so I am having to guess what they are. I know that Ukraine is having a difficult time, so I am continuing this model despite the lack of quality. I am also going to do something weird, I am going to take pics of my model and put it on the wall.

6/6/22 I started this aircraft a few days ago. There are some definite issues with this particular kit. First, there is a lot of flash which makes having a sharp exacto knife is essential. The instruction are not that clear, which is fine, I am making it work. But, what I can't understand is why ICM did not number the parts on the spruce trees. Another issue is with fitting guides. Most models that I have worked on in the past had slots, holes or pins to dry and final fit parts. This is not the case here.

Well despite all of the shortcomings, I am enjoying the process of construction.
