Superb as always! I’d have preferred longer landing gear struts, but I’ve
seen some aircraft with landing gear just like your model. I absolutely
loved your solution to the landing gear doors and the animation of the
landing gear deploy is way cool.

Although pretty, longer landing gear requires either fancier (usually weaker)
joints or bigger doors. But I’m glad people like the landing gear clips!

I think the vehicle has the feel of something out of Japanese animation
while still retaining that Classic Space feel.

I was heavily inspired by some photos I found of the Minerva from the anime
Crusher Joe (even though I didn’t know that’s what I was looking at), along with
Classic Space, modern jumbo-jets, and a bit of space shuttle.

I just looked at the Classic Space link and found a picture from an AN-225.
Your landing gear is very close to what that aircraft has, and it’s a *big*
plane! My brother works for a general contractor that does work at power plants
and he sent me some pictures of the AN-225 unloading some huge power plant
parts.
Your creation is a similarly impressive scale. It looks like it would be much
bigger than the US space shuttle.
