Thanks gents.
Chernaya, i really debated leaving the wheels up and having the diive brakes(?) Open. It was a close call but landing gear won. I guess i could have done the top ones open now that i think about it.
The R2 was a serendipitous find at a toy store while shopping for christmas gifts. It looked about 1/48ish scale and at 5 bucks wasn't going to break the bank. It was however in awful black plastic so it took some amateur painting with a hairy stick, and a very careful drill through the top of the built model to finish.
