Viktor,
The main bogeys are like that in real life. The tyres were impregnated with either alluminium or titanium, i cant remeber which, to deflect heat whilst the aircraft is at its top end of the flight envelope. Also, all electrical connections on the aircraft, were made of gold, for the same reason.
When she used to land at Mildenhall, she used to sit by her sheds for about 30 minutes, cooling down and leaking fuel all over the place as she contracted back to her normal length.
Habu has created an outstanding model of this aircraft, and every detail is perfect.
