I am struggling to find a lot of info or photos on the Batwing.
Particularly the landing gear bays. They were never seen, at least in the movie anyway.
I have however researched a lot of real landing gear bays and have decided to create my own version of the Batwings bays.
Taking inspiration from the model makers at ILM in the 70's and 80's who 'kit bashed' their models from existing model sprues, I have done something similar. Using parts from mainly 1/35 tank model kits in my boxes of spares I have created some nice looking landing gear bays if I do say so myself!.
I have tried to recreate the organised mess that is often seen on real life aircraft. Additionally adding the hydraulic cables when I install the landing gear itself.
